I bet I'm not the only one frantically checking their field of vision for anything resembling black spots after reading this. Glad you recuperated.

Here's a good article on the floating black spots you can experience in your vision: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Floaters/Pages/Introduction.asp...

TLDR; they're pretty common (I've had them for years), but you should go get them checked out if you see a rapid increase in the number of them.

Definitely not; I'm now panicking about the same. The advice is greatly appreciated by those paranoid about losing out eyesight.
