Vitreous detachment : You symptoms sound consistent with a separation of the vitreous gel (PVD) in your eye. The resulting grayish circle is what used to connect to the optic nerve. Usually a PVD occurs around 60 yo. It's recommended to have a dilated eye exam to make certain that this normally occurring process hasn't disrupted (retinal tear) the inner lining of the eye, called the retina.
