The vitreous space is located posteriorly between the lens of the eye and the retina. It is filled with a material called vitreous which is similar to clear Jell-O. As we age, the normal jelly-like consistency of the vitreous begins to liquefy. The vitreous may contract and pull away from its natural attachments on the inside surface of the eye. When it pulls free, it is often accompanied by light flashes and the appearance of a new black spot or floater. This is not dangerous, and I do not think that there are any treatment

Ich
Get the medical name for the problem and do an internet search on the term. You will be able to judge the medical qualifications of the places that come up (blog vs. government vs company sales etc.) and may find a sufferers web site with personal info.

Make sure you see an optometrist. This sounds horrible, I hope you feel better.
