When I look into the sky at day time I can see little white dots appearing and disappearing. They move in no particular pattern. If i focus enough I can see them without looking in the sky. I was wondering if I was going blinded but i have no blurred vision. I don't even where glasses or need them. If anyone could help then that will be great!

The blue field entoptic phenomenon or Scheerer's phenomenon is the appearance of tiny bright dots moving quickly along squiggly lines in the visual field, especially when looking into bright blue light (such as the sky).[1] This is a normal effect that can be perceived by almost everybody.

Edit to add I have always noticed this but never thought to look it up before.
Here is what it looks like (kind of) for reference
