about the black dot thing it could just be a floater?
Floaters r common (i think in short-sighted people) and aren't harmful in many....and I asked my optician about this and she sed not to worry about this...in time i learnt just to ignore it....now after a couple of years I had completely forgotten i even had one...until is saw this question!!!
(floaters move when u move ur eye...or in very bright light u can see them.)
BUT i would still get it checked out JUST in case...i'm just guessing its a floater.
HOWEVER I'm NOT qualified to answer ur question....u should get it checked out...and also that small bump thing. Don't be shy and just go to a medical professional....ie' ur family doc.
plz get it checked out- i don't know ur age, past medical history or anything...so this is a gues
SAFE thing would be to ask a doctor.
is it a piece of dirt?
the retina of the eye is made up of hundreds of tiny receptors.just like any other part of the body they sometimes get damaged through too much light a blow to the head or eye sudden pressure etc also they wear out .if you lose one receptor you don't notice it but if a few in one place gets damaged then you notice as you said a small black dot or line sometimes a wiggly line like a scribbled pencil line .mostly these are not too much of a bother but in some cases they are caused by some underlying problem .glaucoma high blood pressure and even cancer.get your eyes checked out to see what is causing it..here is hoping it isn't serious..
