Flash of darkness spot in field of vision, what wrong with my eye ?

I am 14 right now and just about 3 months ago I started having eye strain or at least that's what the doctor told me. Then now I see flash of darkness it's like a blackout but it happen only for a while then everything becomes normal agian. Also recently I can see spots in my field of vision like very small spot and I only see them from time to Time. This might be because I pay more attention to my eyes . Im Very concern . Please help explain if it is serious I don't wanna be blind and be a burden:(

It is highly unlikely you have anything that would make you blind. Read the section on Wikipedia.com on "entopic phenomena" the most common cause of seeing what you describe is an awareness of entopic phenomena.
