Weird Vision problems. Seeking help

Well Ive had this gray circle thats pretty big appear when im outside, its like looking through gas or something it just moves and it goes around objects im looking at.  I only see it when im outside or when my pupils are small.  I went to the eye doctor but all he did was try to sell me glasses.. I see this circle pretty much everyday and I put on sunglasses which makes my pupils a little bit bigger and the grey circle almost goes away but I can still see it a little bit.

Another problem i've been having is when I look at a light or something tiny little red dots appear.  Like if i look outside the window or I look at a light bulb, ill see a whole bunch of them.  They are little tiny red dots

I have floaters too, I see them every time im inside a building with lights looking a white wall i move my eye back and forth and see a grey circle/line that moves with my eye pretty scary knowing it could be retinal detachment but im only 15 years old.

And the last one is you know how when you look at a light you see a flash.  Well I get those randomly but only like once every two weeks or something.

If someone could help me I would appreciate it very much,  Thank you.

I have the same thing just not the red dots. If you found out what it was pls tell me. Btw I weant to see a eye and head Docter and he said my vision was perfect to. I've also seen floater like symtoms and I'm 14. I've also had this for a few months now and I'm starting to get really worried.

I don't really know if its like a circle but its like a big gray wave, you know how if you look at a bright TV at the corner of your eye you see a bunch of grave wave things? Thats a good way to describe it, but I see that every time I'm outside, and if i stare at it for a while tiny gray circles appear and go into my middle of my vision and disappear.

Ok I went to the opthalmolgist a few days ago, he said my eyes were in really good condition, I asked him about the grey waves/circles in my vision, he wasn't able to come up with anything. But he said he does know that its related to my head. And the floaters must be in my head. But i still can't figure out what the little red dots are when I look at lights maybe white blood cells perhaps?

It could also be Big Blind Spot Syndrome or AIBSE. I was just diagnosed with this. Go see your opthalmolgist and ask about it.

It could be but the odds are in  your favor that the exam will not turn up anything serious.

Some of your symptoms could be due to floaters, some to entopic phenomena.  You need to see a competent Eye MD physician. I suspect you saw an optometrist not an MD ophthalmologist. Find one at www.aao.org
