They'd just appear out of nowhere

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
I know someone who got a vitrectomy for his eye floaters, and I've been considering doing the same when I can afford it

There actually is. I have looked into it before because I have a lot of floaters, but have never had surgery. The risk and downtime with the surgery is pretty high, so it's usually not recommended.

Slightly different but similar and related:

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.

Same. Took me a while to figure out what it is cause I never get headaches.

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.

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.

First time I had one of these I was so stressed out. I thought I was about to have a stroke.

Yeah and it has the best name, Scintillating Scotoma. The first time I experienced one it was terrifying.

I didn't realise these were white blood cells. Thanks for the read.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Always wondered what this was called. I get this often in winter, less during summer. It really puzzled me the first few times it happened, I just figured I was getting diabetes. I have a black tail that follows them so it's even more noticeable then in the picture.

I most commonly see these these when I have a migraine, really bad sneezes, or I flick my eyes or move my head quickly. I've heard it's fine unless you see a bug chunk at the same time as that could be a sign the retina has broken or come loose?

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.

Visual snow is different, it's constant and looks more like tv static or film grain, fun stuff, not.
