I have a lot of these because I’ve had numerous eye surgeries and they’re ultimately just gunk in the vitreous fluid of the eye. I wish there was a way that they could drain, filter, and replace your vitreous fluid when it gets like mine. Like an eyeball oil change. There’s not though, as far as I know.
A tip: if you suddenly see a ton more of these get it checked out asap, especially if you are very near sighted
Everytime I see this warning, I become hyper aware of every single one and it freaks me out.
If it makes you feel any better you’ll know when it happens, they increase by a lot. If they increase noticeably you should get it checked out but if it increases so substantially that you’re like man what the hell is going on then you need emergency care, basically, but also you can’t really miss it?
Nope but I see these when I'm getting a optical/ocular migraine.
Yikes, you're actually seeing that?
It doesn't do what I see justice. They are often beautiful. When they first occur it causes a blind spot. The zigzags are a rainbow of shimmering color. They go away after a hour or so and I feel lousy if I don't have a headache. If I do get the headache with it I have to find a dark room and try to sleep.
That's the shape. But it's constantly oscillating and the colors shifting rapidly.
Vision gets obscured but for me my visual processing/reasoning gets cloudy too. I can still navigate the world but finding a door handle is difficult.
I get sore behind my eyes after and real tired. Happened a few times in the last couple years, anxiety I think.
Youtube mostly has classix migraine aura but this is close enough if you imagine the zigzag image.
Yeah and it has the best name, Scintillating Scotoma. The first time I experienced one it was terrifying.
I occasionally get them and mine feel more black & white than color, the the jagged shape and the arc around the center of your vision is spot on.
And remember the jagged arc is always in your peripheral vision. You can't look directly at it and study the details because it moves when your eyes do.
My ocular migraines always come with a pretty strong headache. Last week I had my first one without the headache. Very difficult to try to concentrate when you cannot see.
Also when I get both types of migraines, I can’t remember names or do any sort of math.
I typically get a song or something stuck in my head and cannot let it go while I have the headache, it sucks.
I had one once, a decade ago, no pain, but mine was black and white squares, some had x's in them, it looked like some unholly mix of Apple and Xwindows just righ there in my vision in just about that overall shape you displayed. I also felt SUPER disconnected at the time. My wife and I were picking stuff up at storage, I just ignored it, got what i needed from storage and it went away in less than 5 minutes. I was thankful to not have the oft associated headache
Same. Took me a while to figure out what it is cause I never get headaches.
Real life needs better writing
I had some since childhood and as a child trying to explain these to people lead nowhere, and I just thought I had something nobody else had. Then, years later, the internet came, and some random post like this came, and I went holy shit! It was amazing to finally know what it was and that they really aren't a big deal.
This is not inside your eye, it's outside out there. Please, do not ignore it and write to your FBI agent immediately
Congratulations! You are getting older. They are called eye floaters and most people have them in some compacity. I notice them mostly when looking at the blue sky on a sunny day.
I've seen these since at least the time i developed long term memory as a small child.
You can also see the individual white blood cells flowing through the vessels your eyes this way. It's actually really neat. It's called the Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon.
I got few permanent ones.
When I was a kid I played geologist and crushed rocks with a large iron hammer. Few of the metal splinters that ended in my eyeballs left a mark that is still visible today when I look at the sky.
Not actually floaters, I know.
I got one or two from looking at the sun for no reason when I was a kid
god I was dumb
You can still be dumb if you wanted to!
I have a permanent eye floater. When I get really bored I find suitable things in my field of vision to look back and forth between and play pong with.
That is some exemplary "silver linings" shit
You should be a motivational speaker or something
Slightly different but similar and related:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon
EDIT: If you're on a mobile device, or in strong lighting conditions, view the image fullscreen or futz with your brightness/gamma.
Part of the whole point of this is that it is a subtle effect, only visible in certain lighting conditions.
Or maybe you need to clean your screen, lol.
I believe this is another related, simililar, yet technically different phenomenon, with different causal mechanisms, but yes, lets keep adding to the list, lol.
Also, brb, you'll never believe this, apparently my pizza delivery guy's name is 'Hiro Protagonist', he's almost here, and I gotta ask him what is up with that name.
dude he has your pizza. he's a fucking hero don't you forget it
I didn't realise these were white blood cells. Thanks for the read.
Nope, you're the only person ever to have seen this weird stuff. It's probably a sign that you're about to die.
Fun fact, this is because your vitreous humour is shrinking and as it shrinks bits of it congeal into little protein strings. They're called floaters, but some people laugh whenever I say that for some reason.
The way its been described to me is that if you suddenly see a snow storm in your eye then you need to get to the doctor immediately
Seen them for decades, but thought it's best to keep them a secret. Until Family Guy just casually mentioned them like they were no big deal! Not as crazy as I thought, after all ...
Eyeworms. Villagers get them from touching raw meat then rubbing their eyes. It's only a matter of time before the worms burrow into your brain. Then you shit yourself and die in a most embarassing way.
At least I won't have to deal with the mess.
Having an astigmatism that changes really frequently means I notice these more obviously within months of changing my prescription. Fuck these things!
For some reason this comment is what made me finally realise that I haven't seen floaters since I stopped needing glasses
Yes, since as long as I can remember. Welcome to the alien hive mind comrade! /s
Squiggly line in my eye, fluid.
I see you there, lurking on the periphery of my vision.
But when I try to look at you, you scurry away.
Are you shy squiggly line?
Why only when I ignore you do you return to the center of my eye?
Oh squiggly line, it’s alright, you are forgiven.
Honestly haven't seen em in years....
They left.
Pretty sure I fucked up my eyes from psychedelics even though I didn’t trip more than 5 or so times in my life. I took some golden teachers and I noticed that my glasses felt like they were in the way of my eyes. I took them off and I could legit see. I need glasses to see anything that is 2 feet away from me, all I see are huge masses of colors and blobs without them on since I was about 9. Ever since that trip I see weird shit randomly, especially when I’m nervous, it just swirls and flashes. Eye doctor says nothing is wrong, I’m just seeing floaters. Shits weird.
Lol, HPPD goes brrrrr.
I can't tell you if this is what you're experiencing, but worth a read if you haven't come across the term before: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_perception_disorder
