Cataract

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The most common cause for blurry eye with dark spots is cataract. I recommend that you approach an opthalmologist for this.
The other most common cause is glaucoma however this is a painful condition

I also recommend
1. Drive only in the mornings as blurring aggravates at night
2. Wear shades while in the sun
3. Avoid sharp and bright lights

I hope I was of help, if you have any further query please get back to me

Regards
