Why do I have a black floating dot in my sight?

Answer 1

Because there's a black floating dot in front of you

Answer 2

This happened to me and I thought I was getting freakin' glaucoma so I went to an ophthalmologist and he said it is nothing to be concerned about. The dots are called floaters and he said since our eyes change over time, the floaters can form as fluid levels in the vessels adjust. He said it is not a problem unless there are so many of them they are blocking your line of sight. I know I only see mine when I look for them.

Answer 3

I'm not postive what it could be so you should try the eye doctor when you can if it dosn't go away.

I know if i stair at a bright light for a few seconds I see a black dot.

Could it be possible that your blood sugar may be low?

Answer 4

Aaron ... You unknowingly chose the right word: "float." These are called floaters. Unless you have many or they obstruct your vision, it's normal to have at least a few floaters.

Eye Floaters and Spots

By Judith Lee and Gretchyn Bailey;
reviewed by Dr. Vance Thompson

You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They are called floaters. You can often see them when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or blue sky. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.

Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye.

Eye Floaters and Spots Symptoms and Signs
If a spot or shadowy shape passes in front of your field of vision or to the side, you are seeing a floater. Because they are inside your eye, they move with your eyes when you try to see them. You may also see flashes of light. These flashes occur more often in older people as the vitreous humor thickens and tugs on the light-sensitive retina. They may be a warning sign of a detached retina. Flashes also occur after a blow to the head, often called "seeing stars."

Clumps of vitreous gel can float in the eye, creating the spots and floaters many people see in bright light. Large numbers of these clumps can be produced when the vitreous gel begins to thicken or shrink, usually with aging, and detaches from the inner back of the eye (retina). The resulting spots and floaters you see after a vitreous detachment are actually "shadows" cast by clumped bits of vitreous gel when light shines past them onto the retina, where vision processing occurs.

Some people experience flashes of light that appear as jagged lines or "heat waves" in both eyes, often lasting 10-20 minutes. These types of flashes are usually caused by a spasm of blood vessels in the brain, which is called a migraine. If a headache follows the flashes, it is called a migraine headache. However, jagged lines or "heat waves" can occur without a headache. In this case, the light flashes are called an ophthalmic migraine, or a migraine without a headache.

What Causes Eye Floaters and Spots?
For most people, floaters occur as they grow older. The vitreous humor thickens and clumps as we age, and floaters result from the clumped vitreous gel. Sometimes pregnant women see spots caused by little bits of protein trapped within the eye. Eye injury or breakdown of the vitreous humor may also cause spots and floaters.

When people reach middle age, the vitreous gel may start to thicken or shrink, forming clumps or strands inside the eye. The vitreous gel pulls away from the back wall of the eye, causing a posterior vitreous detachment. It is a common cause of floaters, and it is more common for people who:

are nearsighted;
have undergone cataract operations;
have had YAG laser surgery of the eye;
have had inflammation inside the eye.

Answer 6

I actually went to the doctor about this. He said the iris pigment breaks down and they call them "floaters" and that there is nothing to worry about. Mine has since settled somewhere and I no longer see them.But you should go to an eye doctor to ease your mind.

Answer 7

It's in the gel of your eye. It will never go away tho. Forgot what its called.

Answer 8

Does it really matter when you could be going to hell when you die. Did God make you with that tatoo. Shouldn't you worry about more important things like not sinning. Maybe you should turn your life to God and forget about your stupid sports issue. You seriously need some help. Join a rehabilitation clinic. Purify your soul if you have any hopes of eternal life.

Answer 9

That sounds kind of serious, I'd go to an eye doctor as soon as you can to have your eyes checked.

Answer 10

i'm not sure if i can spell this but its called a catarat(cat-a-rat). you have to get it removed
