what causes spots before your eyes?

It could be "Floaters" small pieces of dead skin that have worked their way into your field of vision, the eye sloughs off dead tissue like the rest of your body and sometimes it floats around in your vision, my mum has them and she just has to learn to live with them, best just to go to an optition for confirmation.

Do you mean you are seeing spots or you are having period related spotting?  If you are seeing spots you could be dehydrated, and need to drink more water during your workout.  If it is the other kind of spotting, call your doc.

Most spots and eye floaters are merely annoying but harmless when they temporarily enter the field of vision, and many fade over time. People sometimes are interested in surgery to remove floaters, but doctors are willing to perform such surgery only in rare instances.\n\nIf you suddenly see new floaters, or eye floaters accompanied by flashes of light or peripheral vision loss, it could indicate serious conditions such as diabetic retinopathy; vascular abnormalities such as retinal hemorrhages or carotid artery disease, or the beginning of a retinal detachment. The retina can tear if the shrinking vitreous gel pulls away from the wall of the eye. This sometimes causes a small amount of bleeding in the eye that may appear as new floaters. You should see your eye doctor immediately

You might have Vitiligo.  If that is the case those spots will get worse in the sun.  Make sure that you put a good sunscreen on.  SPF 50 or higher and try to stay out of direct sunlight.  Go out when the sun is not super bright.  Here is a website that can give you more information.

Most of the time, those are brief after-images; it's a reflection of the processing of images by the retina.\n\nOn occasion, it can reflect retinal pathology--retinal detachment, occlusion of a blood vessel, etc--and it can be the prodrome of a migraine.\n\nIf it only occurs briefly and with closed eyes, it is generally nothing; the disease states usually will cause the little dots whether your eyes are open or closed.

it's probably not a disease but something we all experience sometimes. It sounds like"floaters", bits of stuff inside the eyeball that we see. Sometimes we see them more in bright sunlight. Go to an eye Dr. if you have a great deal of floaters. Usually nothing at all to worry about.

They're cause by a small infection in one of the spots where your eye lashes grow.  It's pretty common and there are really not many things that can help.  First things first.. DO NOT try to pop it or anything like that because the infection will spread.  Instead try getting a towel and soak it in warm to hot water.  Then just put it on the eye.  Hope that helps.

While floaters (little spots floating around in your vision) are very common and usually of no concern, flashes of light are not something you want to mess around with.  You need to call your eye doctor (optometrist or ophthalmologist - either is qualified) ASAP and tell him/her what you're experiencing.  Flashes are often a sign of a retinal or vitreous detachment (the pulling on the retina causes you to see the flashes).

Could be "floaters".  Are you pretty short-sighted?  You'll see them more often then.  Good idea to go to your optician or doctor to get them checked out, though.

Tiger2say gave a good answer.  If they are floaters, then they're harmless.  The only thing I'd add is that they are created before you are born.  If you didn't notice them until now, it's because you just never thought about it.  Mention to your eye doctor on your next exam.  He (or she) will let you know if they're anything to be concerned about.

See an eye doctor.\n\nIt might be something on the lens, or it might be something on the retina. Or it might be some completely different thing.

It can be very freaky when this happens. I suffer from it myself sometimes when I am stressed or tired. There is no cure that I know of that will get rid of it. but I find if I gently rub the area it calms down after a while.\nBasically it is just a muscle spasm. We get it sometimes in other parts of the body all the time but don't necessarliy notice. \nTo put your mind totally at ease, pop to your local optician. They will be able to check the health of not just your eye but your blood pressure and other health issues too.............. unbelievable but true. The eyes tell us so much!!\nIt may be that you have slight eye strain too. You may need to have a pair of low prescription glasses which will aid your vision and take the stress from your eyes. \nHave a couple of days away from the computer if you can. or make sure you take lots of breaks away from it. This can sometimes cause slight strain if you are sat too close or for a long period of time.\n\nGood luck

Various possibilities (among others):\n\n1) Could be psychological\n2) Could be allergic \n3) There may really be something in your eye - not always can you see foreign objects lodged in the eye\n4) You might have touched your eye with a dirty and/or sweaty figure or something\n5) It maybe irritation/complications due to contact lens use\n6) It maybe the onset of a Herpes Virus infection\n7) It maybe the onset of a case of conjunctivitis\n8) You maybe needing glasses and/or eye treatment\n\nBottom line:\n\nTry washing/rinsing your eyes with clean water for sometime, but only after having washed and rinsed your hands thoroughly first.  Then make sure you dry your eyes with a fresh clean towel.    If the sensation continues, seek medical care (i.e. go for an Eye Checkup/Exam) – never self medicate.

Melanin caused by exposure to the sun (like freckles or age spots). Try a product for alleviating liver spots (anti aging products mostly). They often occur during the summer or in pregnancy due to hormonal changes. Try staying out of the sun & consult you doctor if worried at all.

There's also a condition called asteroid hyalosis, which is calcium deposits in the vitreous.  It's very similar to floaters, but the patient rarely notices them.
