I see dark spots when i move my eye to the extreme side. I see them on my both eyes. They are very active specially afyer waking up from sleep. After waking up, even if i move my eye little bit, i can see the circle dark patch. But ot goes away after 5 min. After that, i only see it when i look on extreme sidw of my eye.
Does anyone have any idea?

The type of visual disturbance you talk of as known as a type of phosphene.
They are a visual phenomenon often caused by eye movements from side to side or sometimes pressure.
This particular one is accosiated with lateral movement as you explained and is sometimes accompanied by a sensation of seeing light.
They often become more obvious the older that we get.
Hope that helps.

Yes the vitreous in some people becomes more watery and causes stimulation to the retina which sends a signal to the brain, making it think its seen something which isn't really there. Normally light.
