Floaters.

Does anyone ever see these? I think they are called "floaters" - but when it is really bright out you look straight ahead and it looks like little cells floating around...like a circle with a dot inside it. I have seen them my whole life - and I always thought that they were actual cells...I was curious and very stoned the other day and did some searching online and a lot of other people see them, too! Weird!!!

i've seen many floaters :)

i thought floaters or floaties as i like to call them were those nasty pieces of food that come from backwash ... gross

sometimes ive seen like little white dots floating around

I see floaters sometimes but mine look like a cluster of worms

yeah i always see them.

Yeah, they're weird huh? What exactly are they?

haha its the shadow people!

There are actually two things you are talking about. Sometimes you can actually see dust particles floating around in a stream of light. The other is 'seeing stars'. This happens when you get up too fast and your blood sugar is low (dizziness accompanies stars). It can happen when you get hit in the head as well....remember the cartoons caricatures having birds or stars flying around thier heads after getting hurt?
Mine look like worms sometimes too. Sometimes just dots of light.

And I always call unchewed food in drinks floaties...yuck.

um... i think they have to do with the optical fluid in your eye. I was recently diagnosed with glaucoma.... I have had many eye dr visits latley
