Some time ago I took a shower and blew my nose. I say what appeared to be black cob webs floating down which were very real. After the cobwebs p, I now have a Grey cicle in my field of vision and have to look sideways to see what I am looking at. What is this, what caused it and will it ever get better?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having black cob webs and grey circles in the field of vision.
This indicates problems in the vitreous like vitreous degenerations or vitreous detachment. Though most of the times these may not produce any problem and remain benign, evaluation is required to rule out attached retinal problems like retinal tear and prophylactic treatment to prevent complications like retinal detachment.
Hence In advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination.

Thank you
