Signs Of Retinal Detachment?

[honeydip]

Recently (usually while I am skiing) I have noticed lots of 'floaters'in my vision. Imean a lot so much it annoys me and I have to wear my ski goggles all the time to dampen the sight of them. Now I only really notice them if I am thinking about them. I just thought it was a natural build up over my life and it isnt anything serious. However about 1 month ago I woke up in the night and went to the loo. When I got back into the dark bedroom I saw flashing in the periphery of my vision which lasted probably a minute or so. Also sometimes when I sneeze I see stars in the periphery of my vision moving away from me. I have booked in to see a retinal speialist but this is not for another 2 months. Should I demand to see one sooner?
