Concerned About Eye Floaters

I have a lot of eye floaters and I'm only a teenager. I started wearing glasses 8 years ago. I have a lot of them. There are ones that look like cobwebs, giant gray strands and the clumped floaters. They are not that bad to block my vision. It's just it's really scary. I've read somewhere on the internet that my eye floaters are benign (I've diagnosed myself which is stupid). Also, maybe the reason I have these giant grey floaters is because some floaters are close to the retina. I've also read about vitreous syneresis which is harmless. No, I have not experienced flashes of light. These floaters have been around for over a month now with no change. I am a hypochondriac so I'm afraid I'm having a retinal detachment or PVD or something. I'm very scared but I'm trying to convince myself its a problem I don't have to worry about but the way the floaters look is so scary. I need help guys. I'm sorta new here and I need some help. I am not doing anything that's causing this.

Is what I'm experiencing a PVD, retinal detachment or a harmless and normal case?

You should really see an eye doctor, if you only make your own diagnosis and not really know what the problem is, it may only cause an increase in your anxiety. You wouldn't want that. But it's very wise that you've kept yourself calm.
