why do my eyes have black spots - #17910
I am super confused right now and honestly a bit worried. For the past few weeks, I keep seeing these black spots in my vision, like little shadows that float around. At first I thought maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me or something like that. But now I’m really starting to think, why do my eyes have black spots? It’s kind of annoying and distracting, especially when I’m trying to focus on my work or even when I'm watching TV. I don’t know if I’ve been sleeping enough or if it's stress. I mean, I’ve had a lot going on lately. I had a mild headache too, and at one point I noticed that when I was looking at bright lights, those spots seemed even more obvious. Is this something serious? Why do my eyes have black spots? Is it just something that happens with age or is it possible it's because of how much time I stare at screens? I’m 34 and I don’t want to ignore it. Should I be going to see an eye doctor right away, or can I wait a bit longer? Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful!
