Floaters: It sounds like you are having what we call floaters. This is when particles in the inner part of your eye, the vitreous humor, build up. They cast shadows which you see as these floaters. They are not usually a sign of serious eye disease but if this is new for you or if you are having other symptoms it is best to get an eye exam to be sure that your eyes are healthy.
