I've seen this for as long as I can remember, but I never bothered to ask anyone if they saw it too.
So, stare at an object, or better yet the wall. Do you see anything odd?
What I'm talking about are the little "floaty" things. They're always the same shapes for me. A few are squiggly and "wormy", and the rest are circles alone or masses of circles. They slowly drift downward if I continue to stare, but I can make them fly upward when I look up! And then they again start to fall.
They are not colorful themselves, but take on the color of whatever you're looking at. Transparent. I'm not talking about the flashy white things you see when you get your school pictures taken.
It's fun to play games with them.
And if other people also see what I'm talking about, I want a smart guy here to give me an explanation.
If I stare at a wall, or a roof when I'm listening to music. I'll start to see things relating to the song. Imagination.
Perfectly valid question: Who comes to this kind of forum to look for answers like this, anyway?
I see that stuff all the time. I thought I was just seeing ****. :(

Stop taking drugs and get a real hobby.
Sometimes I look at patterned carpets and tiles and I will see faces or animals. Usually once I look away I cannot find it again though. I like doing it in school when I am done all of my work.
Come to think of it, I get this sometimes. Only when I look at the sky, for some reason. When I was a kid I thought I could see atoms!
But that could just be an optical illusion. It tends to happen with patterns like checkered square and such.
The floaters... well you tend to ignore them most of the time. Though I heard about the too many part. Better be careful.
Watching a screen in the dark could have some negative effects like that. I think so.
I have always had a lazy right eye but like klarth my eyesight never gets worse when i stare at the sun, the oly thing that happens is i see spots for about a minute
Oh, yeah, I forgot about how Aerosmith is my favorite band. Maybe that's because I like about 5 of their songs. I like them so much. That's funny.
Yeah I notice floaters every once in a while. It really is entertaining to look up and not let one leave your sight for a while. "Juggling floaters" I will call it.
About the sun stuff- A couple years ago I read a book next to a glass door in my house for about an hour and a half by the sunlight that came through the door. Afterwards I realized that everything was green. It lasted for about twenty minutes, and was pretty scary at first. It's uncomfortable for me too look at the sun too long(it makes my headache worse), but sometimes its fun to try to pick out the roundness of the sun, or just watch it change shape as the rays hit your eyes differently.
dude, when I'm riding my scooter outside, I always make in my mind a "line" that's in the pavement and I jump over it. I was just explaining that today. Like, just the colouring of the pavement makes it a huge line. It just happens naturally.
I have to pay attention to my floaters at this time... I have a hole in my retina, and getting too many of them is an early sign that my retina may actually detach.
Fun stuff.
when I see women I my floaters spell out "bitch!" in huge comic book letters
I've noticed these things since I was really young and they always puzzled me. It feels good to finally find out what they are. I think they're definitely more visible underwater. I used to go to a water park every now and then and when I'd get into the big pool and open my eyes I'd see them. They'd seem to form a sort of crosshair shape at whatever I was looking at.
All my life, I've had a problem with these, and researched it years ago. When I saw the explanation, I thought I was an idiot and that everyone had already figured that out. Now I don't feel so bad.
I often see them only when I look at large, open spaces; mostly, the sky. They're rather hard for me to ignore, because it's just such a rare occurrence for me to see them and I can't help but look at them. Like breasts!
They've never really been a big deal to me. Puzzling, but not inhibiting.
Noticed them ages ago, and only notice them on rare occasions anymore. Never knew what they were, and never really cared; I always dismissed them as insignificant.
I haven't seen the spots, per se. But sometimes my vision will just blur out certin spots of myi visional spectrum. It's a clear color, I suppose; considering I can't see the spots. But they are of the spotish shape. I want to call them blurbs. Yes, that'll do QUITE nicely.
I love my floties I've seen these ever sice i was about 5 and my dad told me just about the same thing klarth said, then when i tried to tell my friend he was like "your a moron, you dont see little organisms, you can see light look over there"
yea well whos the moron now

lol, Floater simulator.
I see floaters all the time. I asked my sister once what they were, and she said I was crazy, and gave me an awful wierd look- I always assumed it had to do with my previous vision problems, until I ran into an article about them online a year ago. Hell, I even see them now.
