These black spots are usually called floaters and are normally age related. I just found this;

Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters.28 Aug 2020

Most certainly get it checked though (((((Moira)))))

How old were you Linda, when you first started to wear contact lenses?

Bugger Linda,  you are the expert when it comes to contacts ! I cannot imagine anyone being able to do that ... anytime !!!! But I suppose ' needs must '  and you DO get used to it ! Sorry about the Floaters too !!!!!!!!!!!!! You must have got Mine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!       (((((((((((((((((((Linda))))))))))))))))))))))

YES Floaters but funnily enough I do NOT have any tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BUT I would have been about 62 ish when I first had floaters. The they went away but lately I have them now and again  !

That makes sense Darien  .. age related changes and funnily enough I have been thinking my eye sight IS changing ... for the worst !!!! I bought some of those Clearwipes today from Chemist Warehouse and they do work OK BUT why should I have to keep clearing my lenses so often?

Yes, I know contacts, I've worn soft ones, hard ones and now the in between ones and at one time I wore two pair in each eye, a soft one on the bottom and a hard one on top.   I have floaters all the time and I have for YEARS and I mean YEARS.  As I said, I don't think about them and they don't bother me.  You probably need to go to an eye doctor when you get to Waverley and have a good check up.

I too remember the how you used to have to wear 2 contacts in each eye and I don't know how you even did it !!!!!
My floaters seem to come and go recently mainly in the day time !
