A member asked:

I see small black spots when looking through my left eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely floaters : Vitreous floaters increase with aging of the eye. Depending on various factors, such as refractive error, genetics, eye diseases or injuries, the presence of floaters varies. But as you do age, the number increases. Remember to always follow up with your eye doctor if sudded changes occur.
