I see black spots! Please, help me! Do I have some disease? These black spots appear all of sudden and disappear without any reason. Does anybody know what could I do when black spots floating in my vision? My friend told me that I can not do anything and that will passed away.

These black spots that you can see are called black spots and, as I know, really there's nothing you can do about them. Don’t worry, they are totally harmless. I heard that floaters are a natural part of the eye's aging process. Just learn to ignore them. I think that doctor can not help you.

Hey there! These black spots or "floaters" that you're experiencing are nothing more than dead blood cells that have banded together and are causing a shadow like dot to float around in your vision. When they disappear for awhile, this is because you've managed to move it into a position out of your field of vision.
There's really nothing you can do about it besides put up with it. They're caused mostly from major stress, lack of sleep, extended drug use or severe head trauma far as I know?

They are actually called scotomas. They can be indicative of some diseases of the eye including Glaucoma, macular or optic nerve disease.

It also depends on where in your vision field you are seeing the eye. Central scotomas are a different situation.

In most cases however, they are a sign of aging and there really is no treatment for them other than bright illumination when reading.

You should consult your doctor just to be on the safe side.
