It’s most likely the optic nerve becoming visible. We all have a blind spot on the retina where the optic nerve connects to the eye. The brain fills in the missing imagery but macular degeneration may make it more visible.
I think someone in my family member has the same thing as you. They said it was "due to stress" as well and something about a burst vessel. If you get any other information, please let me know. she gets eye pain when stressed, too.
hi there, about two years ago I had this white circle in my left eye when I blinked, I cannot see very clear in that circle,I had it for about 2 weeks then it disappeared and now its back...I went to the eye exam doctor and he said in world war 2 some men were getting this, and they could not figure out what it was besides stress.I don't think I'm stressed.. .is this true?
The first question is are the fading dark areas exactly the same size to both eyes when viewed separately?
That is, one at a time.
If they are kinda, approximately, about the same size, but overlap to both eyes (when both are open) it may be just te photoreceptors atrophying.
Non-professional guess.

My wife is complaining of this happening, first thing in the morning big black area spot sunflower on waking, then it goes, checked this and it is both eyes, I have asked about this before and reply given this is normal, any chance of a reason etc.
We have been to the hospital, they seem baffled, checking for stroke etc, to be given mri brain scan and eyes have been checked- nothing found.
She has low BP, hospital seemed not concerned, being nagged by me to drink liquid more, she avoids - due to a weak bladder.
I suffer from the exact same problem! I have seen these spots go on and off like twice a week, and today after I woke up I can see a small black circle that appears after I blink. I can also make it appear if I rub the affected eye. I am beyond scared....
This is normal. Google entropic phenomenon.
