Floating specks in your eyes

If you find yourself following spots in your vision, there's no reason to worry. Here's the real reason we get them, when it happens and what to look out for.

hum...I've never seen any dark spots. only sparks when you go from a dark place to a very light place

I've always had showers of white specks everytime I focus on a wall or shower, they're like holographic specks printed onto the object i'm looking at, and they move around like... beads.(or liquid nitrogen if you've ever seen that.)

I don't know if I should get my eyes checked..
I've had this condition for as long as I can remember, never thought much of it.

Meaning, we can see our own cells with our own eyes.
