What are the dots and squiggles you get floating on your eyes? (They're see through)?

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

Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's normally transparent vitreous humour[1]. They may be of embryonic origin or acquired due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour or retina[1]. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia, or less commonly as myiodeopsia, myiodesopsia, or myodeopsia[1]. When observed subjectively, floaters are entoptic phenomena characterized by shadow-like shapes which appear singly or together with several others in one's field of vision. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, that float slowly before one's eyes.\n\nMuscae volitantes (Latin: 'flying flies'), or mouches volantes, are a specific type of floater consisting of small spots whose presence is normal and attributed to minute remnants of embryonic structures in the vitreous humour[1]\n\n\nContents\n[hide]\n\n    * 1 Description\n    * 2 Causes\n          o 2.1 Vitreous syneresis\n          o 2.2 Posterior vitreous detachments and retinal detachments\n          o 2.3 Regression of the hyaloid artery\n          o 2.4 Other common causes\n          o 2.5 Tear film debris\n    * 3 Treatment\n    * 4 Observing floaters\n    * 5 Quotations\n    * 6 References\n    * 7 See also\n    * 8 External links\n\n[edit]\n\nDescription\n\nFloaters are suspended in the vitreous humour, the thick fluid or gel that fills the eye. Thus, they generally follow the rapid motions of the eye, while drifting slowly within the fluid. Floaters located slightly to the side of one's direction of gaze can be particularly annoying. When they are first noticed, the natural reaction is to attempt to look directly at them. However, attempting to shift one's gaze toward them can be difficult since floaters follow the motion of the eye, remaining to the side of the direction of gaze. Floaters are, in fact, visible only because they do not remain perfectly fixed within the eye. Although the blood vessels of the eye also obstruct light, they are invisible under normal circumstances (and thus not annoying) because they are fixed in location relative to the retina, and the brain "tunes out" stabilized images (see neural adaptation). This does not occur with floaters and they remain visible, and, in some cases when large and numerous, very annoying.\n\nFloaters are particularly noticeable when lying on one's back and gazing at blue sky. Despite the name "floaters", many of these specks have a tendency to sink toward the bottom of the eyeball, in whichever way the eyeball is oriented; the supine position tends to concentrate them near the fovea, which is the center of gaze, while the textureless and evenly lit sky forms an ideal background against which to view them.\n\nFloaters are not uncommon, and do not cause problems for most sufferers. However, floaters are more than a nuisance and a distraction to those with severe cases, especially if the spots seem to constantly drift through the field of vision. The shapes are shadows projected onto the retina by tiny structures of protein or other cell debris discarded over the years and trapped in the vitreous humour. It should also be noted that they can even be seen when the eyes are closed on especially bright days, when sufficient light penetrates the eyelids to cast the shadows. It is not, however, only elderly people who suffer from floaters; they can certainly become a problem to younger people, especially if they are myopic. They are also common after cataract operations or after trauma. In some cases, floaters are congenital.\n[edit]\n\nCauses\n\nThere are various causes for the appearance of floaters, of which the most common are described here. Basically, any way by which material enters the vitreous humour is a cause for floaters.\n[edit]\n\nVitreous syneresis\n\nThe most common cause of floaters is shrinkage of the vitreous humour: this gel-like substance consists of 99% water an

(m)\n\nHave you ever wondered what makes the muscles around your eyes twitch and flutter from time to time? The answer to this question is relatively simple. And so is the remedy. \n\nAll of the six hundred plus muscles that exist throughout your body and head are supplied by nerves that originate in your brain. If you take it from the top, your brain induces a signal that travels down through your brain stem and spinal cord and out through peripheral nerves to reach each of your muscles. The flow of electricity through this pathway is what allows you to have motor control over your muscles.\n\nYour brain and spinal cord are much like the water tower in your city. Both are full of energy and just itching to gush electricity and water out through peripheral nerves and city water pipes, respectively. In the case of your municipal water supply, you are able to regulate how much water comes out of the pipes in your home with your faucets. In the case of your body, your peripheral nerves are your faucets and must regulate how much electron flow is allowed to come out of your spinal cord and travel to your muscles. \n\nGetting back to what causes a twitching eye, the twitching muscle in question is called your orbicularis oculi muscle. This muscle has two parts: a palpebral part that allows you to open and close your eyelids, and an orbital part that allows you to have a wide range of expressive looks with your eyes, a good example being when your eyes open really wide with surprise.\n\nThe peripheral nerve that acts as a faucet for your orbicularis oculi muscle is called the temporal branch of your facial nerve. So, for you to open and close your eyelids or open your eyes as wide as possible, the temporal branch of your facial nerve must allow just enough electricity to come out from your brain and brain stem and travel to your orbicularis oculi muscle. \n\nIn the vast majority of cases of a twitching or fluttering eye, the problem is with the temporal branch of the facial nerve. When this nerve becomes fatigued, it acts like a worn down water faucet - the flow of electrons is no longer smooth and even. The result is that your orbicularis oculi muscle will twitch or flutter as it receives jolts of uncontrolled information from your brain and brain stem. \n\nIn case you missed it, I just gave you the answer to the most common cause of a twitching eye: fatigue. And fatigue goes hand in hand with stress. \n\nWhen the muscles that surround your eyes twitch and flutter, chances are very good that you are fatigued and stressed. So the remedy for a twitching eye is rest and relaxation.\n\nNot muscle relaxants, not pain killers, not chiropractic adjustments.

Do you have floaters? Floaters will appear as little black specks in your vision. If you have those and are seeing the bright flashes of light then you really need to get to a doctor as soon as possible. Your retina could be detaching. This also can be caused by an ocular migraine. Look up floaters and ocular migraines on the internet and read more about the symptoms of each.

it's pressure and blood flow...  this sensation of course you know soon fades...\n\nthe optical nerve fills with blood while you are pressing on it and that's what it looks like.. normally the blood circulation looks like swirling clouds in your eyes when the lids are shut.\n\n:D

I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean eyeshine: animal eyes seeming to glow in the dark looking at you? \nCheck out the links to see the explanation for that.

I've noticed my the floaters in my eyes have increased.    Then again I could just be getting older. Or it could be from my arc welding hobby too.  I'm much more cautious about taking quick glances at the curing light.

These dots are nothing to worry about. All guys have them. These are glands which aid the growth of Pubic Hair and are a necessity. If you squeeze them does a little white stuff come out( don't mean to be disgusting).\nDo Not panic. Its only natural, But if in doubt check it out !!!!

it's probably not a disease but something we all experience sometimes. It sounds like"floaters", bits of stuff inside the eyeball that we see. Sometimes we see them more in bright sunlight. Go to an eye Dr. if you have a great deal of floaters. Usually nothing at all to worry about.

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).

It is possible that you are having floaters which are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.\nFloaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye.\nHowever, if you are seeing flashes of light, there may be something more serious occurring such as retinal detachment. I would go see your eye doctor immediately.

It took me quite awhile to be able to put them in because my eyes were just so freaked out and would shut really easily. Then tried something new after a year of giving up...instead of putting it right in the middle of my eye so you can see your finger coming right at you, haha, I turn my head (to the left for the right eye, and right for the left eye), so the white of my eye is now where the center of my eye used to be. Basically you do the same thing you're taught to but you put it on the white of your eye, then turn your head back to straight. The contact will naturally glide over to your pupil and then once most of the bubbles are gone, close your eyes gently and viola. The white of your eye is not nearly as sensitive as your pupil. I CAN'T touch my pupil, it hurts. Anyway, I hope this helps!

I would go with something with "opti" in the beginning. I'm not really sure what you are looking for...is it an eye drop solution, or antifungal solution or what??
