    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.

      Having an astigmatism that changes really frequently means I notice these more obviously within months of changing my prescription. Fuck these things!

      Huh .... I never noticed that I stopped noticing my floaters after getting glasses. When you have something like that for decades, you stop actively seeing those things.

        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 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.

                      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.

                                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.
