Black Spots

I see black spots out of my eyes. I had this for many years now. Doctors tell me that this is nothing for me to be worried about. Is this something I should be worried about?

Have a complete exam with an ophthalmologist.  If after that everything looks great, especially the complete dilated retinal exam, then that should be a very good sign for you.  I never like to say you are 100% safe, but again, it's a very good sign, and at that point you should be able to monitor your symptoms and keep regular follow up appointments.
