What to do if i have black dots/squiggles in vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evaluation needed: If these are of recent onset and accompanied by a drop in the vision or flashes of light, then your ophthalmologist needs to be consulted as soon as possible. These can be an early warning of retinal detachment, but hopefully are a sign of the more common vitreous degeneration.
