Black eye floaters that look like flakes of pepper floating by may also be seen with certain infections of the
eye such as toxoplasmosis or herpes. Another cause could be bleeding in the eye from diabetes. Likewise, after
cataract
floaters develop commonly. More rare causes of "bugs in the eyes" are infections such
as toxo, herpes, and other diseases that inflame the eye and retina.
Being extremely nearsighted definitely increases the chance that you will develop dark squiggles or black
floaters in front of your eyes.
