You need an Opthamologist not an Optometrist there's a big difference. An Othamalogist has a PHD where an Optometrist doesn't he can measure your vision and only prescibe coreective lens .

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.

Sweetheart, it sounds like you are having some worrisome problems.  The doctors will figure out what is going on and "fix" it for you.\n\nIt may just be the migraines that are causing most or all of your problems.  A migraine can show up in a couple of different ways.  \n\nSome people have headaches while other people have what is called "Migraine Syndrone". With migraine syndrone, you may see a zig zag semi-translucent line in front of your eyes.  It appears to be around 6 inches wide.  When you close your eyes, you will still see it which indicates that it is happening in your brain and not in your eyes.  \n\nYou may have a "blind spot" in each eye.  You can look at one spot and there will be a spot, to the side, that will be a blank spot.  You move your eyes over some and the blind spot will move with your eyes.   \n\nYou may temperaraly lose your memory but it will slowly return.\n\nWhen it is over, everything will return to normal, and you will have a normal headache, and, with that, a great need to sleep.  After sleeping some, you will wake up and feel really bad.\n\nNo one knows for sure what causes migraines and migraine syndrone but it is thought that the blood vessels, in the brain, contrict and cut some of the flow of blood off to parts of your brain.\n\nMine hasn't caused me any permanent damage as far as I know.  I personally think the problem is caused by stress and nerves.\n\nIs my description similar to your symptoms?  \n\nGood luck.  Pops

I have floaters. It has something to do with your retina. Should you start noticing many more just out of the blue, blurring vision, peripheral vision fading or blasts of bright light in your vision then you should get to a doctor quick b/c that could mean that your retina is detaching. Look it up in the search engine for more info.

Tiger2say gave a good answer.  If they are floaters, then they're harmless.  The only thing I'd add is that they are created before you are born.  If you didn't notice them until now, it's because you just never thought about it.  Mention to your eye doctor on your next exam.  He (or she) will let you know if they're anything to be concerned about.

What you speak of is called Decepcion Detection.  The actual movement of the eyes represents the brain trying to see (uper right), hear (Lower right), or feel (upper left), the truth.

Its called Nystagmus.  It means involuntary movement of the eyes.  If you have not already done so see an eye doctor to rule out any eye diseases and also see your family doctor to rule out neurological problems. Usually it is hereditary and doesn't cause any problems but you MUST rule out serious health problems first.

There's also a condition called asteroid hyalosis, which is calcium deposits in the vitreous.  It's very similar to floaters, but the patient rarely notices them.

Please call the doctor back first thing in the morning. Ask them to explain what they meant by what they said. Doctors get paid way too much to leave a patient worried about what they meant and out in the dark.\nYou paid for the visist, make them explain it. It can be a lot of things or nothing at all. No one better than the iddiot who told you that can define the SPOTS for you. Good luck.

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 suppose you had a retinal detachment. I strongly recommend you to undergo an ophalmologist check. I would fear a fibrous tissue formation around silicone vesicles, which is a rather constant complication and of early occurrence.

It sounds like floaters.  If it is, then you have nothing to worry about.  Usually you'll notice them if you are looking at a white board or the sky.  Some people have lots, some people have a few, and some people never notice them.\n\nIf you're interested, floaters are caused from protein clumps in the jelly ("vitreous" in fancy talk) on the inside of your eye.  As you move your eyes, they slosh around and cast a shadow on your retina, which is what you can see.  If you hold your eyes really still, you'll notice they slow down and eventually disappear.\n\nAnother thing that is a possibility are "ocular migraines."  I would recommend that you get your eyes checked by your family eye doctor just to be on the safe side.

Your photoreptors and your visual cortex cells randomly fire, it is background noise a bit like you get with a CCD camera. Also you may notice that if you put pressure on your eyeball (not too much!) you will see a bright spot - so photoreceptors respond to more that just light.\n\nI get this too and my vision is fine.

It's your eye.  You only have two.  By definition, that's serious.  I figure you just got something in your eye and it'll be gone shortly.\nBut like I said, this is your eye!  Get it checked as soon as possible.  \n\nPossibilities:\nEyestrain \nFatigue \nSubconjunctival hemorrhage\nRed eye

Blockage from a blood clot is called a "partially occluded retinal vein" in the eye. Sudden symptom are the appearance of a gray foggy spot in the center of your vision, that sometimes fades, but never goes away. Some can be cured with an injection of a kind of steroid. Other causes are more serious. If an artery is affected you would go suddenly blind in that eye. In this case you need to get to the hospital NOW to avoid permanent damage. If you see something that isn't there, it could have to do with a detached retina. If you have any pain or other symptoms, you should seek medical help immediately. Good Luck
