Thanks to an article I read in one of my science journal, the cause of seeing spots of light (not against the sky but just popping up here & there) is said to be random firings of neurons in our visual cortex. Ever see the vague filament of light when you close your eyes at night? Same thing. It's more noticed by some than others, but almost everyone has them. It's possible some meds increase the firings.
