A: This is a natural occurence called "floaters", most adults have them and some more than others. It occurs when the jellatinous substance inside of your cornea liquifies over time and debree breaks loose and floats around (hence terminology "floaters"). If you notice these floaters increasing in great amounts, especially to the point where it is affecting your vision, go and see your optometrist.

I think I first noticed these in college when I kep having trouble in microbiology lab. My counts using microscopes were always off. "Was that microbe or a floater?!?!"
