I found it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon [/quote] [i[i]]The blue field entoptic phenomenon or Scheerer's phenomenon (after the German ophthalmologist Richard Scheerer, who first drew clinical attention to it in 1924[1]) is the appearance of tiny bright dots (called "blue-sky sprites") moving quickly along squiggly lines in the visual field, especially when looking into bright blue light (such as the sky).[2] This is a normal effect that can be perceived by almost everybody. The dots are white blood cells in the capillaries in front of the retina of the eye, near the macula.[3][/I] So they're white blood cells? I've been wondering for years. I just thought my eyes were getting older. So we can see cells with the naked eye? Interresting. Thanks OP, for mentioning this. [/quote] funny how these cells can be recorded on cam... [/quote]
Original Message
I'll just start of with one fact. What I am seeing, is not the same as when I 'see stars' from dizziness etc.
I have noticed over the course of 2011, that when I look at a light background, or into the sky, I can see thousands, if not millions of 'bright white particles' on both my eyes. They 'swim' in an erratic fashion. I can focus on a single 'particle' for a few seconds, as it 'swims' across my eye.
There is no pain associated.
Does anyone have anything similar?
