Oh man, people are posting my past couple years lately.  I have 20/20 vision at 34 but I started having bad floaters about 6 months ago.  Some of them stay stationary and others move around as I move my eyes.  I've always been sensitive to light and was getting migraines with lightning as well.  I went to a ophthalmologist, optometrist, neurologist, and gp for these issues.  The sensitivity to light was due to my neck muscles and constant computer use as an IT professional.  I fixed it with computer gamer glasses.  Now, light bothers me far less and no more migraines.  😄 

The floaters, all of the floaters, I have been told are totally normal.  Even the ones that moved.  The way they explained it to me was that there are tiny pockets of fluid in your eye that can catch some of the floaters in them.  So when you move your eye you can see them move around inside that pocket.  Totally normal and nothing to worry about.  TI was told not to come back unless I was seeing curtains on the sides of my vision.  Very obvious retina issues if you see that stuff.  Still not incredibly serious, you just need to get in.

Your eyes are crazy complex little blobs of water.  They notice anything and everything.  What you are describing is not concerning.  :)
