I have a lot of these because I’ve had numerous eye surgeries and they’re ultimately just gunk in the vitreous fluid of the eye. I wish there was a way that they could drain, filter, and replace your vitreous fluid when it gets like mine. Like an eyeball oil change. There’s not though, as far as I know.

A tip: if you suddenly see a ton more of these get it checked out asap, especially if you are very near sighted

Nope but I see these when I'm getting a optical/ocular migraine.

You'll never believe what they're called

This is not inside your eye, it's outside out there. Please, do not ignore it and write to your FBI agent immediately

Congratulations! You are getting older. They are called eye floaters and most people have them in some compacity. I notice them mostly when looking at the blue sky on a sunny day.

How did you take the screenshot?

I got few permanent ones.

When I was a kid I played geologist and crushed rocks with a large iron hammer. Few of the metal splinters that ended in my eyeballs left a mark that is still visible today when I look at the sky.

Not actually floaters, I know.

I have a permanent eye floater. When I get really bored I find suitable things in my field of vision to look back and forth between and play pong with.

Nope, you're the only person ever to have seen this weird stuff. It's probably a sign that you're about to die.

Slightly different but similar and related:

EDIT: If you're on a mobile device, or in strong lighting conditions, view the image fullscreen or futz with your brightness/gamma.

Part of the whole point of this is that it is a subtle effect, only visible in certain lighting conditions.

Or maybe you need to clean your screen, lol.

Eyeworms. Villagers get them from touching raw meat then rubbing their eyes. It's only a matter of time before the worms burrow into your brain. Then you shit yourself and die in a most embarassing way.

Fun fact, this is because your vitreous humour is shrinking and as it shrinks bits of it congeal into little protein strings. They're called floaters, but some people laugh whenever I say that for some reason.

If you get a bunch of new ones all of a sudden it may mean you're at increased risk for retinal detachment.

Seen them for decades, but thought it's best to keep them a secret. Until Family Guy just casually mentioned them like they were no big deal! Not as crazy as I thought, after all ...

Having an astigmatism that changes really frequently means I notice these more obviously within months of changing my prescription. Fuck these things!

Yes, since as long as I can remember. Welcome to the alien hive mind comrade! /s

Pretty sure I fucked up my eyes from psychedelics even though I didn’t trip more than 5 or so times in my life. I took some golden teachers and I noticed that my glasses felt like they were in the way of my eyes. I took them off and I could legit see. I need glasses to see anything that is 2 feet away from me, all I see are huge masses of colors and blobs without them on since I was about 9. Ever since that trip I see weird shit randomly, especially when I’m nervous, it just swirls and flashes. Eye doctor says nothing is wrong, I’m just seeing floaters. Shits weird.

Honestly haven't seen em in years....

Immediately made me think of Baldurs Gate

You’re turning into a mind flayer!

Eye-Tapeworms better see a doctor.
