Black spot in vision in right eye
I have noticed over the past few months that I have a black spot in the lower corner of my vision. I see it more when I'm in the sunlight or looking at my computer. It's very annoying. What is it and what can I do to get rid of it? I've always had pretty good eye sight and wear contacts.

You should see an ophthalmologist. The major risk of new floaters is a retinal tear which could lead to a retinal detachment.

Yes it does seem to drift. I find myself trying to look at it or "catch it". It's very annoying!
I have an eye appointment tomorrow with my optometrist. Do I have to schedule the appointment with an Opthamalogist?
When you say it could be something else.....what are the other risks other than a floater?

Most likely a floater. Does drift when you move your eyes and stop?
You need to see an ophthalmologist. It could be other problems.
