Hi all,
I've been seeing some black spots out of my right eye here and there
for the past few years. It is not always occurring, but can be
annoying. It kinda feels like a fly is flying around the room and your
eyes are tracking it. I know it is from the right eye because when i
cover my right eye, i don't see it. You could say that it also looks
like a shadow spect. Any thoughts on this? I don't have health
insurance at this moment.

Having had the same problem, I can guess. But don't rely upon my knowledge.
First, and more benignly, you may be seeing floaters. These consist of crap
in the eye. IIRC, a fancy medical term using muscid or some similar Latin
word is sometimes used by doctors to bedazzle patients with floaters.

These spots can also be symptoms of ocular migraine. In my case, they did
not move around but merely appeared and disappeared. Headache is not
necessarily a symptom.
