Weird spot on my eye won't go away?

Question

It looks like a bug. It moves with my eye so I'm pretty sure it's in my eye. It's been there for days but it doesn't hurt and other people can't see it. Is it a scratch? Do you think it will heal? It's making it really hard for me to read.

Answer 1

You probably have a "floater" that has moved into your central vision. I have floaters, too. When they bother me, I find that if I vigorously roll my eyes repeatedly, the floater moves out of my central vision, and I can see well again. Using a computer screen is a good way to notice floaters.
