i know other people see these too. i normally see them when im looking at white walls or in an airplane looking out in the clouds. i only have them in one eye, which coincidentally is my bad eye. anybody else see these little things?

I was poked in my left eye when I was 12. Everything I saw was a greenish color for about a week, and I have seen spots ever since. I still have 20/20 in my left eye
Often you are only seeing a reflection of the blood vessels in your own eye. The little spots moving in those squiggly little tracks are individual blood cells. Optics, what a gas.
Here's a couple more for you: the larger the pupil of the eye, the less depth of field you have. Ironically, many people find they can judge distance better when their depth of field is shallower.
Another one: most people's eyes have different magnification values. Don't think so? Find something of a known size. Look at it with both eyes open. Then close one eye. Is the target object the same size? Close both eyes again, then open the other eye. Still the same size? You have to pay attention, because the brain tries to null this out for you.
People can see polarized light. Takes a while, but you can train yourself to do it. Make a pistol shape with your thumb and index finger. Point the finger at the sun. Where your thumb points is the zone of polarization. When you notice that part of the sky being darker than in the direction of the thumb, congratulations you're seeing poarized light. For the longest time it was assumed humans can't do this because we don't have compound eyes. Artists and photographers said you could, but who ever listens to them?
Do not get me started on color vision. Just don't do it.

Get started about color vision. I'm in the mood to learn something cool

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
i have a black spot that just apeared at the top of my vision the other week...kinda like a floater thats stationary and wont go away, its annoying as shit! i went to the opthamologist the other day and they said it was a piece of "pigment" that fell into my field of vision and is never going to go away...i have never even heard of that happening so im going to get a second opinion
I have a 'burn in' of a distinct mouse arrow in the bottom right of my eye. I see it about once a day, and flashes black and purple for a split second and goes away. I see floaters occasionally. I also have a stigmatism in one of my eyes.
Only when I stare at white objects. Snow on the ground does it every time.
