I see them all the time too.  I get them really bad when I get a head rush or when I feel a migraine coming on. They are called floaters.  They are perfectly normally, nothing you need to go see an optomitrist about.

Those are called floaters. They may be nothing but they may also be symptoms of more serious eye problems including issues with the retina. Consult your regular physician or an ophthalmologist.\n\nFor further information check out:\nhttp://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/spotsfloats.htm

I see them too in the dark.. and I have 20/20 vision so I don't think there is anything wrong with you unless it becomes prominate.\n\n\nAsk your family doctor it couldn't hurt. \n\nI always thought it was for this reason...... your eyes are made up of rods and cones that pick up light and color\n\nI see this as being similar to pixles on a tv\n\nour eyes have pixles so to say, and in the dark for our eyes to create the image, you get light and dark pixilation... just my opinion...\n\nwhen it's really dark I see static, not just black..... I know exactly what your talking about\n\n\nyour the first person who has ever said this

Floaters are caused by the break-down of the gel (vitreous) in the back of the eye.  They are usually very normal and occur more with age.  However, if you have experienced a sudden increase in them (or just started seeing them) or see associated flashes of light, you should see an eye doctor ASAP (optometrist or ophthalmologist - either is fine) to rule out a retinal or vitreous detachment.

I'm not quite sure but of course, droopy eyelids can definitely occlude some part of your vision.

What You Should Know About Flashes & Floaters\n\nWhat are floaters?\nFloaters are usually caused by condensations of the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. Shrinking of the vitreous causes the gel to pull off of the eye wall, causing a posterior vitreous detachment. This is commonly age related, but is also more common with nearsightedness, following trauma or surgery, or with inflammation inside the eye. Floaters can also be caused by bleeding into the vitreous (as in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions) or with eye inflammations.\n\nAlthough they appear to be in front of your eye, they are actually floating within the vitreous inside your eye. You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They may have variable shapes, including small dots, cobwebs, clouds, or lines. They are often most noticeable when looking at a plain blue background, such as a computer screen or blue sky.\n\nWhat are flashes?\nFlashes are often caused by the vitreous pulling on the retina during a posterior vitreous detachment or with the development of a retinal break or detachment. The flashes often develop just before floaters are seen. They usually are bright light-colored, occur in only one eye, and are without shape.\n\nMigraines are another common cause of flashing lights. Some people experience flashes of light that appear as jagged, often colored, lines or "heat waves" in both eyes, often lasting 10-20 minutes. If a headache follows the flashes, it is called a migraine headache. However, jagged lines or "heat waves" can occur without a headache as part of an ophthalmic migraine. Migraines are often associated with light sensitivity, nausea, and tiredness.\n\nCan flashes or floaters cause vision loss?\nSudden flashes or floaters can signify a retinal break or detachment which can cause blindness if left untreated. You should have an emergency eye examination for sudden floaters or flashes in one eye. However for most, these symptoms are temporary, and not associated with any serious eye problems or permanent vision loss.\nI found this information and it may be useful:\n\n\nAlthough floaters are usually frightening and annoying when they first develop, they usually become much less noticeable within several weeks to months. The floaters can often be moved out of the way by moving your eyes around. Rarely, some will require vitrectomy, a relatively painless outpatient surgery, to remove the vitreous for visually disabling floaters.

Twitchy eye is quite funny, like being tickled. It happens when you're tired or stressed, and you think everyone else can see your eye having a little fit, but they can't. I don't know how old you are, but your blurred vision could be 'silent migraine'. This can start in children and as they grow up, the headaches follow. It could also be staring at a computer screen! Have your eyes checked. :-)

you need to go to a doctor.  double vision could be a bad symptom of something.

The spiky shape you perceive is due to imperfections in your own eye. Twinkling, which is due to turbulence in the atmosphere, also adds to the spiky look.\nThe spikes you see in some photographs are due to diffraction from parts of the telescope used to take the pictures.

See your eye doctor about this as soon as you can.  You shouldn't experience any sudden vision changes, so this could be a sign of something else that's going on.

they are called phosphenes.\nit's caused by mechanical stimulation of the photoreceptors in your retina.

I get that sometimes too. I have hypoglycemia. I also take a medicine for depresseion called Welbutrin which I have taken for 4 years now. Also I have reached the ripe age of 41!  I think all these things combined is what causes my spots, blurryness and shadows. I was told by my eye doc that the floating spots that move are age spots that most people get with age (over 40). They are protien fillers that build up. The sugar imbalance cause the color spots. Eating more protien in my diet and less fats/carbs helps me.

If they form in a cicle around the coloured part of your eye - get a cholesterol test as they can be a sign of hypercholesterolaemia.  \n\nYou should  always  see your optician/opthalmologist/doctor about any unusual condition.

Yeah floaters, fer sher...  Floaters are little strands of vascular tissue (veins) that are left over from the development of our eyeballs in the womb.  When we get older, they break loose and float around in the eye.  Everybody gots em... some more than most.  Check with your eye doc.

The eye doctors call those "floaters".  I was told that it happens as the retina ages.
