Does not sound the same.
These are shape's that travel by.
Can be in any direction.
I will see them with my eyes open or closed when going to sleep. More prevalent on my right side now. When started, it was both sides.

@jwatzig You may be describing "floaters" and everyone has them because they are formed because of tissue that is part of the development of the eye and is no longer useful at maturity. That is kind of how my eye doctor explained it. I see those are a twisted piece of cobweb or fuzz that wanders around. The other possibility is that the vitreous humor (jelly like) can detach inside the fluid of the eyeball and move around. I have that and I see that as a moving diffuse area that looks foggy but lets light through it. It moves if I move my eyes, and it settles down when my gaze steady. That commonly happens with aging. The eye has the Aqueos Humor which is fluid and the Vitreous Humor which is thicker and jelly like that is attached.

This link shows some age related eye conditions and describes floaters. It you go to the next page of it, it shows what vision with floaters looks like.

This link talks about vitreous detachment.

Do these conditions seem similar to what you are experiencing?
