seeing motion/fuzziness when you stare into space?

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.

Spatial Disorientation (SD) is a visual illusion which causes loss of orientation. SD is the inability of the pilot to sense correctly the position, motion or attitude of the aircraft in relation to the surface of the earth and the gravitational vertical. Additionally SD is the inability to determine the position or attitude of the pilot's aircraft relative to other aircraft. Decreasing visual cues and references increases the probability of SD. This lack of cues, coupled with an erroneous interpretation of visual cues can create additional illusions that also induce SD.

it's funny you asked that .... this is what (all) I know:\n\nI was watching Will & Grace and flipped to a channel that had figure skating.  I was put into some kind of trance it was like I couldnt look away or even blink my eyes started to water it was crazy....but it's beautiful and kind of peaceful to watch they make it look so easy.

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.

NO.  you can see the movie but not the 3D effect - if you look through the glasses with only one eye it will look flat

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.

It sounds as if you may be experiencing floaters.  This is something that happens more frequently as people age.  It is actually gel or cells floating in the vitreous fluid (jelly like material within the eyeball) in your eye.  AS we age the vitrous fulid in our eyes thickens and this can lead to floaters.  You are actually seeing the shadows of the material off the retina. Floaters move with your eye as you move it because they are located within the eye itself.  Many times you can see floaters when you are looking at a light colored wall or background.  Floaters can be caused if you have experienced a blow to the head or can also be caused by a retinal detachment.  You should see an opthalmologist to rule this out.  If there is a sudden onset of the floaters it could be indicative of larger problems such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal hemmorhages or carotid artery disease.  If you are nearsighted, have had cataract or YAG surgery or experienced some inflammation or swelling within the eye, it could be a vitreous detachment.\nIt is impossible to diagnose this over the internet so you really should seek the attention of an opthalmologist for a true diagnosis of what you are experiencing.

there is a name for this phenomonon.  Parallax.  The apparent movement of an object at a distance due to the movement of the observer.  Your movement can make you thinke an object is moving.  \n\nSimple demonstration.  Pick a SPOT on a far wall.  Close one eye.  Hold your arm out and give the thumb's up sign.  Move your thumb so it blocks your open eye from seeing the dot.  Keep your head and thumb still and switch eyes.  Your brain thinks the dot moved but it didn't.  Your point of observation moved the distance between your eyes.\n\nAstronomers use this to measure the distance of close stars.  If you look out into space at a star you can see it and know on what azimuth (direction) it lies but not how far away it is.  So scientist measure the angle to the star, wait six months until they are on the other side of the sun and measure the angle again.  If they have studied up on their astronomy and can figure how far the base line between where Earth is now and siz months ago they can use the two angles and draw a triangle .  Where the two other sides of the triangle meet is where the star is and some basic math allows them to calculate how far away the star is.

can you see your @ss when your eyes are at the side of your head? hows that?

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

it is likely that you are becoming more long sighted , indoors where you dont have to see very far this wouldnt notice too much, outside you need to focus on things further away. definitely get a eye test, you may need bifocals, or a different prescription for driving

once, when i was into regression meditation. i was 'flashing' thru a tunnel @ a very high speed. i saw a light in front of me.\nhowever, i panicked & came out of the regression meditation. i think it's the speed that scares me badly. i can feel my 'mind' racing towards the tunnel.\ni tried to go into that state again, for several times, but i failed. i can't get that 'effect' ever since.

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.

It's an optical effect called a halo

Two main things control your body's balance.  Your inner ear or your equilibrium, and a part of your brain in the back of your head called the cerebellum.  These centers tell your brain what position your head and body is in.  When the fluid of your equilibrum gets disturbed, your brain gets the message that your heads in one position, when it's in another. This is what causes visual dizziness (room spinning).  Your body doesn't know how you are positioned and your visual senses  are effected because you brain's getting different messages.  Things don't add up when you're dizzy and your body's position control centers are no longer working on the same page.  A lot of this dizziness is a good sign of an inner ear problem, as well as many other conditions.

Hold your arm out in front of you with your thumb pointed up and look at a distant building (or whatever). Now look at your thumb with one eye,and then the other, going back and forth between the two eyes. The thumb will appear to jump back and forth on the building. This is parallax. If you hold your thumb closer, the jump looks larger and if it is further away, the jump is smaller.\n\nThe same thing happens when you look at nearby stars (thumb) compared to much more distant stars (building) from different ends of the earth's orbit (eyes). The main difference is that the amount of the jump is very small since the star is so far away. It turns out that the angle of the jump is haved if the distance to the star is doubled. By knowing the size of the earth's orbit and the amount of jump, we can determine how far away the star is.
