A member asked:

What might cause a grey speck in the field of vision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Floater?: Very commonly a floater can cause a moving speck in the vision. A more stationary, constant speck in the central vision could indicate more serious conditions. Any new change in vision whether a floater or constant speck should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
