        if they’re only dots yours might be the blue field entoptic phenomenon which is different. they’re just blood cells flowing before your retina and it’s totally normal.

          Nah, worms/proteins and all. Varies in density over long periods of time(3-6mo) between never noticing it and it being slightly annoying.

          Wiki says it’s not uncommon even at young ages.
