Spots and Floaters

Perception of  dust, foreign debris  type of mater could suggest one of few things.

 

This could suggest you are heading for a retinal detachment, have developed a tear or a hole in your retina, or there is an inflammatory process occurring inside your eye, or alternatively a benign ageing change is resulting within the jelly of the eye.

 

So the scope  of presentation varies,as such it is impossible for the patient to determine which of the above is occurring.

 

The only way to investigate, is for the optometry doctor to place dilating drops inside your eyes which enables better visualization of all the internal structures using various instruments.
