Retina specialist: I recommend that you be evaluated by a retina specialist if this spot is persistent and inquire as to what he/she thinks the significance and nature of the black spot is. Only then will you feel reassured.

Eye Floater: You are describing an eye floater which is caused by an irregularity in the vitreous gel of the eye. The fact that your retinal exam is normal is good news as the irregularity is in the vitreous rather than the retina. Floaters are not dangerous and are just irritating. They normally do not require treatment but if it bothers you a Vitrectomy may be an option
