Eye Floaters and Spots - Excellent Guide

"floaters"

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?

You're not crazy, I have them in both eyes. Pretty annoying sometimes.

But, you may still be a crazy person even though you DO have them...

I think these are linked to a detached retina. I might be wrong.

It's spelled them. T H E M. Second post I've seen you say thim.

I seem to get them when I'm dehydrated. Strange they're not actually related to that.

Both eyes nearly all the time.

Can you make them change direction? I can.

After staring at a bright light or coming into the dark house after being out in the bright midday Texas sun is when I get them.

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.

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.

I see them and can make them change direction.
I can also swap eye dominance momentarily, until i close my eyes for a while.
