A member asked:

Tiny black dots in my vision. what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vitreous: Thue are small changes in the vitreous, the fluid in the back of the eye. With age this fluid changes consistency becoming less thick or viscous. Unless you start seeing flashing lights this is nothing to worry about.

Hello, I have been doubting my vision lately. It seems as if something is covering my eyes. When I say this I mean like I see hazes around light bulbs that seem to be moving. As if I have a very small oil dot on my eye moving and covering me.
