There called floaters, usually more common in bright sunlight.
Most floaters in the eye are harmless and merely annoying.
They can be surgically removed, but most surgeons would be unwilling to perform such surgery because the risks far outweigh the benefits (i.e you could potentially go blind from the surgery), so surgery would need to be done in private with you taking up the full cost.
It is still wise to seek a second opinion from an optician/ophthalmologist/eye doctor.
I have no idea, but you need to see your doctor.
I agree. Anytime you have issues with your eyes I would get it checked out. Vision is so precious and it would be terrible to lose your sight. Get it checked out.
I've worked in ophthalmology for 5 years now, and i have never heard anything like that before. I would see an ophthalmologist instead of an optometrist and see if they can give you some answers.
You need a second opinion as with anything to to with your health if a doctor blows you off go else where. I don't get why a Dr. would act like that you only get 2 eyes. Go get a second opinion and just for the sake to err on the side of caution do it soon. And keep in mind with any doctor if they can't or won't answer your questions to your satisfaction it's time to change doctors.
There are opacities that float in aqueous humor (liquid in front of the lens) and the vitreous (liquid behind the lens). These opacities float randomly in the eye. Floaters, although annoying, are generally harmless. As light enters through the pupil, it passes the opacity and forms a shadow on the retina. When the eye goes up the spot goes up. Most of us have this problem, but it is more notiable in nearsighted people.
