Black Dots in My Eye

I see black dots and hairlike cobwebs moving across my eyes.  It seems that i can control the direction in which they move, because they only move when move when my eyes move and i see them best when i move my eyes up and down.  Could this have anything to do diabetic retinopathy? Do you have any information?

These are most likely vitreous floaters. You should see an opthomologist for an evaluation as soon as possible, particularly if they are new or you have not seen someone about these in the past. find one at aao.org.
