Floaters: Black spots that may float around in your vision can be annoying, but are usually harmless. If you have other symptoms such as flashing lights, or decreased vision, consult your eye doctor for a full evaluation.

A 26-year-old male asked:
I sometimes (couple of times daily) see starlike, tiny bright spots:akin to phosphenes seen when straining your eyes to look way up or down. It's not squiggly like floaters, nor flashing. But fading at random. Am i getting fixated on normal things?
