at waking, before open eyes see black spot center until open eyes

I am so glad to see someone else posted this 11/06. I didn't think of neck or hypo?tension.
I initially was concerned my brain was registering signals of macular degeneration before my eyes experienced it. I am 44 white female.After just looking online, I realize mother has wet,- My mother has wet magular degeneration, gets needles in her eye monthly, yuck !! Just started seeing this last few months, quite pronounced. I did go for contact lense, annual Pa check, nothing was mentioned. So question is, is this taking place in my brain or my eyes?

In the last two years it has been learned that macular degeneration is 90% of the cases inherited by two genes. With your family history you need to see an Eye MD yearly. Find one at www.aao.org
