They vary in cause, but sometimes they are caused by dead blood cells clumping in the vitreous fluid around your eye. Sometimes though they can be caused by retinal detachment. But this is not likely, because retinal detachment is very rare.

∙ 19y agoOn the information given, the most likely cause is a simple floater. This is a change in the vitreous humor of the eye which casts a shadow onto the retina. If this happens to be in the line of sight, it will move with the eye and always appear directly ahead. Floaters rarely indicate serious problems, and most people acquire a few over time, but a sudden fresh batch of floaters, especially if accompanied with any bright flashing lights in the vision, should be followed up medically for the UNLIKELY (2% max) chance of an early retinal detachment. Other causes of a spot in the direct line of vision are rarer but indicate a problem with the macula. This can be macular degeneration which is relatively common in the elderly, central serous maculopathy which is more common in younger people but is often self-resolving, localised macular haemorrhage and reaction to certain medications and drugs most commonly anti-malarials.

What does Peripheral vision grossly intact mean?
Your eyes, when looking straight forward, can normally see an area comparable to a half-circle from left to right. The areas left and right of your direct line of vision in front of you are the areas of your 'peripheral vision'. If these are 'grossly intact' it's good news, 'grossly' meaning 'roughly speaking'.

What are some good exercises that can be done for people with peripheral neuropathy?
I would try to rest your eyes as often as possible. Do not strain your eyes to see. If you do not have any sight of vision along the sides, I would recommend turning your head to that spot and having a direct line of vision instead of peripheral.
Why astigmatism cause objects to appear blurry?
An astigmatism means that the shape of the optics cause the focus to be a line rather than a point (the lenses are not spherical). Thus the image produced by these lenses is imperfect, causing a blurred image/vision.
