Do you have eye floaters? And what are floaters in the eye?
The official name of eye floaters is "turbid vitreous" or "vitreous floats", and you see black dots flying in front of you, just like the name given to mosquitoes. In addition, there is a beautiful name, "Cloud and Mist Covering Eyes", which is the conscious that there are misty black shadows flying and drifting in front of you, sometimes dim and sometimes clear.
