The other thing that dark spots can be is micro-aneurysms, which are not necessarily anything to get too het up about, but are occasionally, if you're really lucky, a sign of diabetes. (Me? Bitter?) I would expect the optician to have found them if they were there to be found, but if you're wandering past the doctor's anytime soon and haven't had a diabetes check in the last few years, it might be worth a go...

This has been a Public Service Announcement.

Thanks for the PSA. One of the benefits of moving house every couple of years is that you change doctor, and have a new patient checkup (including diabetes check) each time.

Hm, yes -- though, saying that, I'm not sure they actually _did_ do a check when we moved here. It having been almost five years ago, I don't honestly remember and it probably wouldn't have shown up any issue anyhow at that point...
