There are these things called Flashers.  I think I may have them because recently I have been seeing little flashing slits.  Is this some kind of eye condition?

While floaters (little spots floating around in your vision) are very common and usually of no concern, flashes of light are not something you want to mess around with.  You need to call your eye doctor (optometrist or ophthalmologist - either is qualified) ASAP and tell him/her what you're experiencing.  Flashes are often a sign of a retinal or vitreous detachment (the pulling on the retina causes you to see the flashes).

I have the same problem, I just found out I need glasses for it, but also for distance and stigmatism.  Nice combo, basically I need bifocals at the age of 25. :(  But the doc did say the computer is bad for the eyes, so every 20 minutes, you should look 20 feet away and look at that place for 20 seconds. 20/20/20.  It is supposed to help your eyes refresh.  Sleeping a full night helps too, don't forget to blink, use drops if needed.  The problem with computer screens is that each tiny pixel in the screen is moving on its own, almost flickering.  We can't see it because the flicker and pixels are so so small, but the eye needs to use more energy to focus on that screen, thus damaging your eye sight.  Get glasses, computer glasses, they are supposed to help, I am waiting to buy mine because I don't have eye insurance in 2006, but will sign up for it in 2007.

See an optometrist. This could be serious. I doubt an OTC medicine could help you with this.

Did you ask this question recently?  It is possible to be able to focus although an eye is out of "alignment". You may be hearing the crackle of the globe as it turns "abnormally" in the socket.  I had protruding eyes (due to Grave's disease, but plastic surgery fixed it) and when I put pressure on them, they crackled in the sockets.

You need to see your eye Dr. The contacts seem to have a problem or you are fighting an infection. You need an expert. Did you change Dr.'s they aren't all good, you may need another opinion.

I think you need to see a doctor.  It could be a nerve issue or muscle or both, since the nerves and muscles work together.  An opthomologist is who you want to see.

Floaters are bits of debris *inside* the eye.  They are basically always present and would not appear specifically after rubbing the eye or after any other activity, though you may notice them more sometimes than others, they will always be visible.\n\nFloaters are not necessarily a sign of something serious and most people get them eventually as they get older.  If you're relatively young, you should get them checked out by a doctor.  Mine appeared before I was ten and were the result of a detached retina.\n\n(I'm fine now, if you were worried.)\n\nHowever, if they truly only appear after rubbing your eyes, they're more likely just some kind of pressure effect.  I can't remember what they're called, but it's just the energy of the contact stimulating the back of your eye.

It sounds like just an infection.  The best thing to do is not wear your contacts for a few days.  Even if your eye goes back to normal its best to wait another day or two afterwords before using your contacts again.  If these symptoms don't subside, i would seriously recommend seeing an eye doctor.

Most of the time, those are brief after-images; it's a reflection of the processing of images by the retina.\n\nOn occasion, it can reflect retinal pathology--retinal detachment, occlusion of a blood vessel, etc--and it can be the prodrome of a migraine.\n\nIf it only occurs briefly and with closed eyes, it is generally nothing; the disease states usually will cause the little dots whether your eyes are open or closed.

I've never had them, but floaters that are just simply annoying, treatment is not necessary.  If they are so dense and numerous that they affect your vision, then you should see your doctor.  If you suddenly see new floaters, or eye floaters accompanied by flashes of light or peripheral vision loss, it could indicate serious conditions such as diabetic retinopathy; vascular abnormalities such as retinal hemorrhages or carotid artery disease, or the beginning of a retinal detachment.  In this case you should also see your doctor.

They are called floaters. Your eyes are not filled with air, but with a thick liquid known as vitreous humor. Floaters are cells that have broken off from the inside of eye and float around in the vitreous humor.\n\nSee the links below for more information.

I used to get this a lot when I used to regularly stay awake for 70+ hours in a stretch (I had problems and didn't sleep much).  Basically the way that the eyes work involves two main pigments (often called visual yellow and visual purple) which are photosensative (like camera film) and they constantly renew themselves, if you have not slept enough sometimes the production of these visual pigments slows down a bit leading to shapes and specks in th peripheral vision.  \nHave a great day and get more sleep!

That is normal for your eye to do so every once in a while, so I wouldn't worry about it. I think it is funny every time my eye does, it feel funny and weird.
