Yes, you should see a doctor (either a neurologist or an ophthalmologist, both optimally -you will likely need a referral from your primary care doctor), however you are likely experiencing an "ophthalmic migraine". These peculiarities of the migraine world cause a crescent shaped kaleidoscopic ring in and around the center of your field of vision that can be quite hard to ignore. If you alternate closing your eyes you can see the abnormality in both eyes, but it may be more noticeable than one or the other. They often come either before a migraine headache sets in, but can exist without ever preceding a migraine. Generally these episodes last about 20-30 min and eventually the vision interruption "floats "to one side of the eye or the other and disappears out of the field of vision.

If your abnormality is only in one eye and is relatively constant or seems to "float by" in front of your eye a lot this is more likely a "floater". An abundance of these also warrants a trip to the doctor. There is a lot of information about both ophthalmic migraines and floaters in the eye online. A Google image search will reveal pictures of what others see when they have an ophthalmic migraine.
