What Causes Black Spots In Vision?

Hi, my son of 6 years old has mentioned today that he has black spots in his vision. I ve sat him down in a dim room to make sure that he s not been looking at bright lights and then asked him to look at a blank wall again and he s still saying they re there. I ll take him to his opthamologist tomorrow but just wondered what it could be? I have a few floaters but they only developed as a adult - is it usual for a young child to have them?
