Usually this is referred to as a floater. The medical term in Posterior Vitreous Detachment or PVD for short. This is different from a retinal detachment. PVD is when the vitreous jelly separates from the retinal wall causing visual distortion in the form of floaters or flashes of light. These pesky floaters usually subside or you just become adjusted to them. If you were ever to see Large floaters, a shower of floaters, Curtains coming down in your vision, spiderweb looking floaters or flashes of light like someone is taking your photo, this is considered a ocular emergency and you should be seen by a ophthalmologist immediately. I would still have a dilated exam with a ophthalmologist just to be on the safe side. Hope this helped.

What is the structure also known as the blind spot?
The blind spot is the part of the eye where the optic nerve leaves the eye. There are no light receptors so that is why it is called the blind spot.The spot is called the optic disc, or optic nerve head. Whatever part of your field of vision that falls upon this small spot will not be transmitted to the brain as part of the image. Fortunately for us, where two healthy eyes are functioning, the blind spot of each eye is compensated for by the other eye. There are quick and easy demonstrations of the blind spot that can be very dramatic for first-timers. What you 'perceive' at the blind spot is what the brain literally fills in. The spot seems to take on the general texture and color of whatever is around it. There is no perception of a 'black spot', or an empty space, since these would have to be detected visually.
