Have you gone to the doctor about this, I certainly would do that at this point.
Just to make sure nothing major is the cause..

I agree. You need to see a doctor about this asap.

Livlivliv- I had the exact same thing two weeks ago. I saw an opthamologist right away and she said the spots were "floaters" in my eye. She noticed something with my retina and referred me to a retina specialist. He noted something about the retina but said that it had probably been there for many years. I learned that floaters are usually normal, particularly as you age. However, if they are accompanied by flashing lights you need to seek immediate help as it may signal a detached retina which needs treatment right away.
Good idea to get it checked out.

I agree with what you have posted. Usually floaters are harmless but sometimes there is a serious problem.
