A member asked:

My mother age is 48 and she is seeing some black spot when close her eyes. what can be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam: A comprehensive eye exam including dilation of the pupils will be helpful to elucidate the reason she's seeing black spot(s) in her vision. Otherwise I would merely be guessing and there could be something going on that's particularly important to manage. Have her See an ophthalmologist. Best of luck.
