I sometimes see black/silver stars infront of my eyes( eyes open or close,in the sun light or not doesn t matter).However when i look at the open sky i see silver stars coming from everywhere when i close the eyes for sum time they disappear but when i open my eyes they slowly start to come back. What is the problem?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having seeing black or silver stars moving infront of the eyes.
This indicates floaters.
These are because of age related degenerations acquiring in the vitreous and need to worry as most of them are age related.
However if they increase in size or associated with flashes of light retinal causes like retinal tear need to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
