• What kind of sunglasses can eliminate black spots or "flies" of the vision?

  No. Sunglasses cannot remove black spots or "flies" of the vision. The black vision is also called floaters which are caused by the shadow of dead cells and fine aggregates of vitreous protein on the retina. So you can take a surgical procedure which is called "vitrectomy" to eliminate the black spots. The supplementation of Lutein Taurine is also a good way to remove the black spots, which helps regenerate tissues in the retina. However, I haven't heard that sunglasses can eliminate the black spots.
