What does it mean when you see yellow dots in your vision?
While your history is something you should go over with your eye doctor, most of the time painless black dots are often called floaters.

Your eye doctor will evaluate if it is indeed just a floater or if it is something worse like a retinal detachment (that is very serious and needs immediate action)!
What is black spot in the eye?
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.

I would still have a dilated exam with a ophthalmologist just to be on the safe side. Hope this helped.

How often should I get an eye exam?
According to the Dental Association a child should get their first eye exam when they are 6 months old, 3 years old and when they start school. After that children should have an eye exam every 2 years unless there is a risk factor (such as family history of eye disease). Adults should get an eye exam every two years if they are ages 18 to 60. If the adult has risk factors or wears contact lenses they should get an exam every year (or more if required by the doctor). Adults who wear glasses or are over the age of 60 should get their exams annually. Eye exams should be done once a year. If you have some other eye problem the doctor may recommend you do an exam more frequently.
