They'd just appear out of nowhere

Nope but I see these when I'm getting a optical/ocular migraine.
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.

Yikes, you're actually seeing that?
Yeah and it has the best name, Scintillating Scotoma. The first time I experienced one it was terrifying.

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 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.

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.

Glad I'm not the only one! I had one a bit ago that was weird. If my right eye could see my right hand but my left eye couldn't, it felt disconnected from me. Like it was someone else's hand. Once my vision came back I still couldn't read for about 2 hours without sounding out each word. Migraines can be wildly scary sometimes.

You sure you don’t have high blood pressure?
-

Well, yes and no. It's kind of an area you can't see, but it's there. Also, it starts as a small dot and them starts expanding/moving. It's also flashing, kind of like static noise on an old TV. Luckily those things usually last like 15 minutes or so. Still, not a fun experience.

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.

It's bacteria eating your optical nerves
hope theyre having fun

I mean, now maybe, lol, but I noticed this as a middle schooler, and I was in pretty good shape back then... and I still have the exact same experience to this day, in the right lighting conditions, if I can just sit or stand still and look at a mostly cloudless sky.

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.
