Has anyone else developed a floating spot in their vision?

When I was a kid I would get a floating dark spot in my vision every once in a great while. It was usually after being out on a bright sunny day. I've had it maybe once or twice as an adult until recently. I have been getting this floating dot daily, almost like a small shadow that bounces around in my vision (happens when I'm either wearing glasses or contacts...so both of those are ruled out as the culprit). It happens a few times a day and only lasts a minute or so. Anyone else have this? Could it be a lack in a certain nutrient? Is this something I should see an MD about or an eye doc? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
