Dark Spots — Should You Be Concerned?

Why Do I See Black Spots?

Seeing black dots in your vision or a dark spot in one eye is often caused by eye floaters. These small specks or strands move when you shift your eyes and are more noticeable against bright backgrounds.

Causes of Black Spots in Vision

• Eye Floaters – Tiny clumps in the vitreous gel of the eye.
• Retinal Detachment – A medical emergency if accompanied by flashes of light or vision loss.
• Vitreous Hemorrhage – Bleeding inside the eye, often linked to diabetes.

Eye Floaters Treatment in Singapore

Most floaters are harmless, but if they suddenly increase or interfere with vision, treatments include:

• Monitoring for stability
• Laser therapy to break up large floaters
• Surgical removal in severe cases
