Blobs in Vision

I noticed a cluster of small "blobs" close to the center of my vision. At first when I noticed, I thought I had just looked at something bright and it was taking a while for my vision to get rid of the blobs, but then I realized it wasn't going away. It looks like I looked at specs of bright light, and then looked away and still had the imprint of the light in my vision (which I know is normal, but it's been a few hours since I first noticed them and I still have them in my vision). What does this sound like? Do you think this is more of a neurological issue or visual issue? I'm an otherwise healthy person, 22, female, and do suffer from occasional ocular migraines. I notice these specs more if I close my eyes (or make it dark) and then open my eyes to a brighter surrounding. I also especially notice them in fluorescent lighting for some reason.

Unless something changes not so urgent you need to go to ER. Call an ophthalmologist tomorrow and describe your symptoms or have your family MD set up a consultation.
