Answer 2

Are they confined to a specific visual field?  For example if you divided your left eye's visual field up into quadrants are they predominately seen upper left, upper right , lower left, lower right?  You may want to see your OD.

...or they could be floaters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater

Answer 3

Answer 4

I'd say it's an optical migraine. My mum gets them. She doesn't get a headache or pain, just a really bright blur that slowly moves across her vision.
