What Causes Gold Balls Floating Around The Peripheral Vision In Eyes?

I see gold balls floating around the peripheral vision in my eyes. They are constant 24 hours a day. I see them with eyes closed or open. They seem to pop into the peripheral circle of my eyes and travel around it the disappear. No special time or pattern or stress seems to cause them. No headaches no pain. Please tell me what they mean.
