White or black round dot in my vision, it varies in size sometimes it's big and sometimes it's small it doesn't last long and will appear anytime ?

Floaters: You are likely describing "floaters". The gel-like vitreous that fills the posterior chamber of the eye liquifies in the center as we age. Small pieces of vitreous break loose and float in the center causing the black spots. See > http://bit.ly/1SQkrK9
