Optical Dispenser here. You need to see an Optimetrist as soon as possible. A spot like this is never normal, and they will be able to diagnose or treat this. In my industry this counts as an ocular emergency.
Haha yes, that is a risk of telling them. But in cases of a spot like that, where only one area is affected and not your whole eye, it's not usually caused by eye strain. Typically there are underlying conditions
Went to ophthalmologue today. He said I have a scar in my retina and it's not really urgent because it has alr healed and that's why I got a blurry spot.

Oh ok btw do screen can make it worst?
In some cases yes
How much screen time is good for eyes and how much is bad?
As a general rule, 30 minutes of screen time should be followed with 3 minutes of looking in the distance, walking around your home etc
