So I called my optometrist first thing Monday. He had me come and see him right away. He dilated my pupils and took 7 photos of the inside of each eye and did a really extensive looking in my eyes with a magnifier routine. He concluded that I had vitreous detachment with no retinal tear. He told me not to do anything strenuous for a few days, keep my eye open for any flashes of light, and come back and see him in three weeks. He told me if I see any flashes of light or multiple "coffee grounds" (little black spots) in my vision to go straight to the ER. I'm feeling pretty good about this now. Seems it's pretty normal for folks of a certain age.
Thank you all who responded, especially Carl. I was pretty freaked out about this for a while.
