Black Spots Behind Eyes, Not Having Pain, Twitching Or Headache. What Does This Mean?

I had my eyes examined yesterday. I was told there was a black spot behind my eye. I was told to make an appointment with an Opthmalogist. She stated it could be numerous reasons, but she did not go into detail. My exam last year was fine. I have no pain, no twitches in my eye, no headaches , etc. What could these findings mean?
