When I woke up this morning I had some mild light flashes in my right
eye which I could detect since it was still dark. Then I become
conscious of a rather huge floater in that eye. It was a long thread -
never had anything like it before. I had the urge to brush it away as
if it was a strand of hair. I'm at work now. It's still there but I'm
learning to ignore it. I don't know if I'm getting any flashes since
it's quite bright here. Is this just a regular floater or should I see
a doctor?

When you have a sudden onset of flashes and floaters, you should see an
ophthalmologist. Most of time, they are benign but you want to make sure.
