My Dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
These black spots are called as floaters andthese are ffibres in the back portion of the eye called as vitreous humour.This substance isjelly like in consistency almost like white of a uncooked egg.
As the age advances there appear some fibrils which appear to you as black spots.
They are harmless, they are best ignored and we try not to treat them.If they cause too much of disturbance then we give vit.C 500mg for 6weeks and they are only important if they apper as shoeer suddenly.
