What Does Large Black Spot In Eyes Indicate?

My husband is complaining of a large black spot or shadow in his eye. He has been vomiting pretty violently today and now this is happening. He also seems to be struggling to focus. Not much eye movement but he has a bouncing head effect going on like he is trying to focus. Could this be a retina detachment?

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having large black spot in the eye following violent vomiting.
The black spot in the vision are usually seen in vitreous problems like vitreous opacities or vitreous hemorrhage.
Hence he requires examination by a eye doctor to look for vitreous related problems.

Thank you
