Seeing black dot in left eye
Hi,I was coughing up some phlegm this morning when I noticed seeing these weird black dots appear in front of my eyesight! After a few seconds they all went away exept for one dot that constantly appears coming from my left eye(especially when I look at bright/white surfaces). Its more annoying than anything. Did I somehow manage to damage my eye with all the force of hacking up phlegm? And will this black dot problem fade away on its own with time and will my eye repair itself , or do I need to be worried? Thanks!
