If these small black spots are new and are associated with any of the following:
flashing lights when your eyes are closed, a curtain in your peripheral vision, a suddent increase in the number of floaters that you see, I would immediately get checked by an eyeMD as it may indicate a serious eye condition.  You can locate one online [if you do not have one] at www.aao.org, find an eye MD.
