Sometimes I get these white spots, sort of like sparks, flowing from the sides toward the center of my field of vision. What does it mean? Is it significant? It usually goes away in a couple of minutes.

Sudden change in blood pressure in the blood vessles around the the optice nerve will sometimes produced tiny currents that the optic nerve percieves as tiny spots. Think, were you changing position just before you noticed the tiny spots? Laying down then sitting or standing up? Sitting and then standing? Bending over then straightening up? Or do you have a cold and your nose is stuffed up? That too, can make the little changes in Blood pressure, localized around the optic nerve.
It's really nothing to worry about. Just about everyone has these but, most don't even notice it or aren't aware of it.

I don't know if this is permitted or not, but I've received an E-mail from you and tried to send a response, but don't think it got thru.
As I noted in my profile, am new at yahoo q & a, and my computer expertise is of a very low level, so please bear with me; will send you another E-mail.
As to your question, you've already received some most edifying answers, and I doubt seriously whether I can contribute any info. that might be helpful. But will make the effort.
I would speculate that it may have something to do with your vascular system. Perhaps an inadequate supply of oxygen. Do you smoke?
Had you assumed a posture prior to their appearance, which resulted in an abnormal amount of pressure to your upper body parts? This could very well be the cause for the white spots, sparks, manifesttation.
If this anomaly occurs with alaraming frequency, you might consider consulting a professional; it could signal the onset of a developing serious condition; if not, don't worry about it.
Another question or two. Do these occurrances impair your vision? Do you wear glasses, or only reading glasses?
I don't know. You seem like an exceptionally inteligent individual. You'll probably figure it out.
And sorry,
but probably,

What does it mean when you see white spots before your eyes?

I'm 53 and had developed eye floaters about 4 or 5 years ago. The doctors told me that they're harmless, but whoever has had them knows how annoying they are. They also said that I could have them "burned off" with laser surgery, but there was no way I was going to "burn" anything off my eyes! So I kind of accepted that my floaters were there to stay.
Then I came across this system, and seeing that you were offering a full money back guarantee, I figured I had nothing to lose well I was wrong - I did lose my floaters!! Oh my god I still can't believe my floaters are gone and my vision is as pristine as it was 5 years ago!
Getting rid of eye floaters without the high costs & dangers of laser treatments?

Sounds like you are having a seizure, yes seizures don t always send you crashing to the floor shaking uncontrollably. The lights you describe happen when a person is having a seizure followed by a lapse in time such as a couple of minutes where your mind wonders. Please go see a neurologist, a simple test will either confirm or rule out the seizures by looking at your brain activity and you will have your answer within minutes.
Hope you get well and have a healthy life...

Seeing spots can mean schizophrenia. If you are not schizo and not on LSD it could have spiritual meaning. Sometimes I can see magick as sparks and swirling white dots. I've actually seen it with my physical eyes and had to stop and think before.

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/73ed3
