Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having black spots in the vision. The black spots are because of floaters.
The causes for floaters are opacities in the vitreous. The causes can be retinal tear or vitreous detachment. Hence sudden onset of floaters requires examination by a ophthalmologist to rule out retinal problmes.

Thank you
