Floaters
What are floaters?
Floaters retain this name due to the fact that many people notice dark dots, lines or particles in their vision that move around as though floating in the eye. Floaters cast shadows on the retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. The retina then sends visual signals to the brain, resulting in an image.

visual disturbance (spots before eyes)

Spots before the eyes is a symptom which is associated with many sight-threatening conditions, including:
vitreous haemorrhage
uveitis
retinal detachment
sudden posterior vitreous detachment +/- retinal detachment

Spots before the eyes may accompany benign degenerative changes in the vitreous.

The combination of flashing lights and spots is particularly dangerous, suggesting retinal detachment

A loose translation of muscae volitantes would be: Flies flying to and fro, for whatever that useless tidbit of information is worth!
