Sudden change in blood pressure in the blood vessles around the the optice nerve will sometimes produced tiny currents that the optic nerve percieves as tiny spots. Think, were you changing position just before you noticed the tiny spots? Laying down then sitting or standing up? Sitting and then standing? Bending over then straightening up? Or do you have a cold and your nose is stuffed up? That too, can make the little changes in Blood pressure, localized around the optic nerve.

It's really nothing to worry about. Just about everyone has these but, most don't even notice it or aren't aware of it

Blue spots on the whites of the eyes can be an indication of a thin sclera. The color is due to the dark choroid showing through the thinner sclera. It is usually harmless and can be a sign of nearsightedness. But remember it is never a bad idea to consult with a professional on the matter and is greatly advised if you begin to notice that you have blurry/deteriorating vision.
