Likely no problem: If the eye doc has done an evaluation, that is a good start. You should ask the eye doc that question about what the white spots are or if they are a problem. They are likely floaters which are not usually a problem for vision but can be annoying if we focus on them. If the problem worsens, go back to the eye doc.

Mgt: I would recommend a retinal exam and metabolic screening blood tests. This is potentially a serious symptom and warrants follow up.
