You have worms in your eyeballs.

Jesus Christ how horrifying!

Read the Wikipedia article you got that picture from.

>>4812966
You have eye cancer

I'm so sorry.

Rub your tongue against your cheek.

It's almost perfectly smooth, but there are a few imperfections right?

Same thing on your eye.

They are floaters: A blurry spot that seems to drift in front of the eyes but does not block vision. The blur is the result of debris from the vitreous of the eye casting a shadow on the retina. The spot is the image formed by a deposit of protein drifting about in the vitreous, the clear jelly-like substance that fills the middle of the eye. Floaters are often described by patients as spots, strands, or little flies. Floaters are usually benign (not serious). They can, however, occasionally result from a separation of the vitreous gel from the retina. This condition is called a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Although a PVD occurs commonly, there are no retinal tears associated with the condition most of the time. No treatments are available for floaters although they tend to become less annoying over time. Remember also that floaters are usually not associated with serious eye problems. Permanent or recurring white or black spots in the same area of your field of vision may, however, be an early warning sign of cataracts or another serious eye problem. If you experience a shadow or curtain that affects any part of your vision, this can indicate that a retinal tear has occurred and has progressed to a detached retina. In this situation, you should immediately consult an ophthalmologist since time is of the essence.

Or so I've heard.

Are you an engineer?

No, I don't have gay sex.

I have them. I only really notice them when I'm outside on a sunny day.

I have a pretty big one, and it's fun to observe it. It's actually a large 3 dimensional structure.

>>4812966
Holy shit I'm not the only one! I used to see a lot of these back when I was a kid, my parents thought I was crazy

>>4813001
Same.

How the fuck did they take a photo of this..

Yeah, same here. I noticed that they're increasing when I smoke weed, but seem to decrease when I take shrooms.

captcha: Treatment nigger

They are called "Mushi"

>>4813000
>I have a pretty big one, and it's fun to observe it

wtf

I just recently started having them, and they're annoying as fuck

>>4812967
that's was I thought

I have severe myopia (Dioptre of -9). I see them all the time, and first noticed them when I was a child and was looking up at the clouds. They're fun to chase around.

>>4813040
They didn't, they just had some guy who has them all the time draw it.

I don't have these, I also don't get headaches and haven't been sick in 10 years while being very active and not isolating myself from the world at large. I am the next step in human evolution, all of you peons might as well just kill yourselves and give your wives and girlfriends to me for a proper injection of DNA.

>>4815695
>wives and girlfriends
you dont come here much do you

>>4815710

Shut up egghead, if any of you actually know your shit you can buy one/or both of either

>>4815715
>can buy a gf

what the fuck kind of backwards shithole you're from, bro?

>>4815726

The world, what you don't live in it?
Must be a total fucktard to not know how this kind of thing works.

>>4815732
> The world

yeah, I thougth so ... you're from a giant shithole

yo

>>4812966

I've also had these since I was a kid, when I was really small I thought they had the lego logotype in the middle and though I was hallucinating because I've played to much with my lego bricks. later in life at one time a 'friend' lit me in the eye with a laser pointer, ever since then I've experienced a pretty big one on of these. My vision is otherwise above 20/20.

I'm onto you you copypastaing scumbag

Great, OP. Now I can see mine.

Your brain is overheating and making artefacts.

also for those who have these: I know how to "catch" them with my sight: usually, when you move your eyes, they move too to follow the movement.
However, I noticed that if I look fast enough in the direction they are, my sight catches up.
Then I let my eye rest in a normal position, and the floating shit comes slowly directly in front of me for me to contemplate it. I have to avoid moving my eye to follow it if I want to be sure to see it.
I have already been able to aim at something with this though.

those r ghost op I can see them too ur a gifted :)

>>4818673
hallucinations?

jpeg artifacts.

call me crazy guys but sometimes I can see something like my own nervers in the retina firing action potentials, like electric current moving along tiny cables

Oh, squiggly line...

anybody here get phosphenes?

i get them looking into a bright sky

It's sperm residue. You need to jack off immediately, because you're up to your eyeballs!

>>4820822
I did shrooms afterwards and I could see blood vessels afterwards. I'm not kidding. My pupils were completely dilated (almost no iris left) and my sclera was COMPLETELY white. State of my eyes was like that from the moment the shrooms started working untill >=6hours after that.

Also, when I don't concentrate on what I see, but what what makes up the vision (I know this explanation sucks, but it's hard to explain) I notice my "resolution". All tiny dots that don't have the colour of the object I'm looking at (they're white, I think) sometimes they look less like dots and more like diamonds, or squares, or circles, but I feel this is some imperfection of the eye.

>>4818562
Nope look up blur field entoptic phenomenon. Thought I was crazy too.

>>4821089
Woops, first afterwards shouldn't be there. Looks like I went full retard for a second.

These used to annoy the shit out of me but I've learned to deal with them.

I also have another problem where if I look at a white wall for example, I can faintly see lines of gray dots surrounded by grey/black outlines. Sometimes the dots are bigger when I first look at the wall or whatever it is.
Also sometimes in the dark (normally happens when I'm in bed) this gray/blackness will override my field of vision but as soon as I blink it goes away

A bunch of weird shit goes on with my eyes but doesn't really bother me anymore. Inb4 I go blind tonight

Called Vitreous Floaters OP. I got them. theyre fucking tormenting as fuck when you first have them but ive has them for a year now and I barely notice them anymore. You cannot get rid ofthem without dangerous and expensive surgery that sucks out and replaces the filling of your eye

>>4812966
The can be a symptom of retinal tears, just get an eye exam. I got one and i was fine

>>4821133
>Also sometimes in the dark (normally happens when I'm in bed) this gray/blackness will override my field of vision but as soon as I blink it goes away

At nights if I look at a fixed point in space I can make myself virtually blind until I look away. It's the same thing, a rapid growing dark and gray vision.

>>4821432
Yeah man, that's exactly what happens to me. Do you know what causes it?

>>4821453
dont make me say it!

>>4821460
Oh you!

>>4821453
Unfortunately, no.

If I had to make a wild guess I'd say that our eyes and brain would be getting "confused" by the lack of stimuli.

I had to have laser surgery a couple of times because of the film left over after cataract surgery (back when they sliced er open and never put a lens back in). I was getting real bad glare from any light, made driving, seeing white boards, anything like that difficult.
The surgery basically cut a hole in this membrane, now i get to look at the edges of it allllllll the time, floaties aren't shit compared to this. It's like having a worm constantly floating around. Good times

Anyone else here see things like these when they look around in the dark or at a bright wall?

Yep.

It's most likely related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_nerve_hypoplasia

Which is also heavily correlated to high-functioning autism.

shit I used to think they were dust, I could only see them when crosseyed though.

Holly fucking fuckshit, I've been wondering what that was for years! No one I know seems to have it.

>spend hours on 4chan
>wonder why you have spots in your vision

I think everyone has them. Some just never noticed them before. A few people I described them to had no idea what I was talking about. I didn't really notice till I was about 10 or so. They really aren't that obvious and only seem to appear if you stare at a solid color for a while with extreme boredom. Anyone else never ever had these before? I'm curious.

>within the eye's vitreous humour

I didn't know that until now. I thought it was dust or something.

le bump

They're called floaters, and they're common in most individuals. They're usually either dust on the cornea (front of the eye) or cracks in the vitreous (center of the eye). In case of the vitreous cracking, it is just a sign of aging. Eventually your brain gets used to it and you stop noticing them. It could mean a retinal or vitreous detachment, but that's not usually the case. Don't be afraid if you are seeing flashes also.
