Eye floaters are not what you think they are!

I can truly say, that I have no idea what any of you are talking about lol. I will keep my eye's open, and watch for these 'spidery' lights, but yeah......

Till then, i say, you are all crazy

JK!

If i see them tonight or in the morning I will respond with a more....

you have to apply pressure to your eyeball when your eyes are closed. the harder you press, the cooler the fractal-like images are and the more colorful they are. but when you release and open your eyes, you are blind for a few seconds.

Thanx for the info (*_*) but it only seemed to work when i was young?

I have seen something that backs up your theory. Twice, I've seen orbs of light the same size as the floaters. They did sort of move like an octopus.
and yes, I do get regular eye floaters regularly. I've only seen the light ones two times.

Each one of those dots or floaters that you see, could be another world, another planet filled with intelligent life. That see their own dots and floaters and they remain blissfully unaware of where they actually are...Just like we don't know where we are...

When I was a kid I thought they were the souls of ants I had killed by spraying them with starch from my mother's squirt bottle and watching them stiffen up.

Not a good thing.

If you see these, visit an optometrist today and have your eye pressure checked. It could be glaucoma. It can be controlled, but you'd damn well better get it controlled right away. that's what happened to me, and I still see.

It's serious--seriously.

eye floaters are more likely to be what the rest of the people stated here in terms of ocular issues, not other wordly entities.

THAT said, im sure there are some things that you can "see" when you're in between. I remember one night i was sleeping and felt a giant spider like thing approaching me from the ceiling and i threw my pillow at it as hard as i could and jumped up in the bed pretty much.

Physically, it was nothing. Reasonable explanation was a nightmare, but the kicker is i wasnt asleep, so its a state of in between-ness if you will where you do sometimes perceive things that arent physically there in our frequency.

That said, eye floaters are common and its all physical stuff inside your body that may need to be checked out.

I'm not disagreeing with any of the theories put out in this thread, yet floaters can also be caused by trauma to the eye. I have large floaters that never go away do to many street fights (i did not win all, hence the floaters). the op has a good theory for the ones that go away, im gonna stick with his thoery.

what makes you so sure? have you ever seen a floater that seems to appear only after a second of looking at the sky? if so you are squeezing certain psychic muscles in your eye which allow you to see remnants of astral spiders

I experience all sorts of quirky benign phenomena. Phosphenes are part of it. I've had my eyes checked because I was certain I was having some sort of crazy problem(Hypochondriac), and nothing was physically wrong with me. (not to say its not all mental, but that doesn't make it real). I see them a lot. Might be a crazy idea, but I think extra solar activity increases my floaters.

hey everybody, there is a thick fluid around your eyeball and one purpose of this fluid is to keep extra tiny junk fron the air floating around from attaching to the surface of your eyeball, when you have the floaters look left and roght and up and down and notice how the tiny peices of debris will trail to and fro, if you also blink the tiny debris will shuffle around all viscous like. i agree with the calcium buildup theory for your eyes and seeing the spiders. why would you want to see an astral entity anyway?

I really hate you now.

I have been having trouble sleeping lately and the thought of something spider /tentacly like going through my eyes and brains doesn't help the situation much.

*sigh*

Then again it was an interesting post.

Lots of psychiatric help needed for some in this thread.

Eye floaters are in your eye. There's medical explanations for them(Dead cells in the eyes, stuff on eyes, certain parts of the eye having trouble adjusting back after bright lights).

The fact that, when you move your vision around, they move with it(even moving ones will still be there if you turn around quickly), and that they usually are exactly where your trying to focus on, it's obvious that the problem is with your eyes. If the behaved like real objects, and you could look away from them, then maybe you could assume they existed outside of you, but that's not the case.

There's an explanation that's a natural, widely agreed one, that explains why they function the way they do.
There's an explanation that's based on an unproven supernatural phenomena, not agreed on by any professionals, and doesn't explain why they work like that in your vision.

I'll go with the first explanation.

Oh, dear, another that has seen too many science fiction movies.

Do you know that is a procedure that can filter this floaters our of the eyes? I had them for 15 years already, I would no do the procedure due to the instability of it.

My daugher in her twenties already have then also.

Floaters are more common on nearsighted people and most of all people have them and will have them any time in their lives.

Treatment of eye floaters ignites debate

Nearly everybody has floaters or will develop them at some point in life, especially older and nearsighted people. Sometimes shaped like specks or snakes, they float through a person's field of vision, and are most easily seen when you look against a light background like a blue sky or a white wall.

They are harmless, usually just bits of membrane that have become dislodged from other parts of the eye. Karickhoff estimated that 95% of people who have floaters ought to leave them alone.

Why are you bringing known biology and science into this thread?

It's clear from the OP he wants only paranormal explanations, not your silly "science" or "known biology" of the human eye.

Shame on you.

Well I sure will.

OP - they aren't paranormal - they're eye floaters, debris that often clumps together in the fluid in the eye. If you're genuinely worried, go see your local eye doctor.

But Cthulhu it ain't!

I believe that the translucent things you see when you look up at the sky are pieces of astral entities that get left behind when you wake up from sleep.

you are free to believe what ever you want. Medical science, on the other hand, isn't free to believe what it wants and must go with the data, and it's exactly what medical science says it is.

Eye floaters are little specks of debris floating through the vitreous fluid in the eyeball. Sometimes people may momentarily confuse them with dust or tiny insects floating across in front of the eye. However, they are within the eyeball and are not eliminated by rubbing the front of the eye. They follow the rapid movements of the eye while drifting slowly from one place to another. If floaters didn't move, they would be invisible due to a process called neural adaptation.

Dang eye floaters.
