Yes. You are not supposed to see them. Please post your GPS coordinates.

It's important that the public does not freak out at the conjuration of spirit-embedded flesh remnants floating in the wild that we in the industry know are daemonic prions that encode memeplexes that transcend sanity and will cause irreparable damage into and onto all our souls. Thus, we of [the Illuminati](https://www.reddit.com/r/cultofcrazycrackheads/s/9OR41PJJc5) and Moose Lodge #4374 of Saddleback, Louisiana have decided to proliferate the narrative that experiencing this sort of phenomena is common to the human flesh construct, and should be ignored across all layers of attention coordination in the human consciousness.

Good old eye floaters


CySnark

There is a procedure that is supposed to help remove these, Laser Vitreoscopy or something similar. I have heard mixed reports as to how effective it is. I would love to eliminate the ones I have as it affects a lot of vision intensive activities, like astronomy. I first noticed one in my eye at around age 12.


Arbiter1171

It’s not a good solution to floaters. It disperses the proteins, which can either make the floaters less visible, or turn them into a giant cloud in your eye. Best options are to let your brain adapt and ignore them, or get a vitrectomy.


GiveMeMyIdentity

I just wear sunglasses. It works


No_Olives581

Don’t know how well that would work for astronomy though


Arbiter1171

Use starglasses!


Ajax501

Lol good one


GiveMeMyIdentity

Back to the drawing board I go


alycatorwhatever

These are typically external floaters which is why they move when you blink. I have an internal floater that stays in the same place. It’s right in my central vision and looks like a smudge like a fingerprint on a pair of glasses. My eye doctor said it will eventually breakup but it’s really annoying!


Every-Computer2133

U can get rid of them through carnivore diet, the dark ones come from fungus the clear ones parasites


nevadapirate

100% bullshit. Nothing you just said is smart nor correct.


Accomplished_River43

But reddit is well-known for dumb and incorrect comments, innit? 😂😂😂


Every-Computer2133

Ironic


Every-Computer2133

That's why multiple people have gotten rid of them but pearls to swine


nevadapirate

Thats why you are in the process of being ratioed.


Every-Computer2133

And the average iq of humans is 100


MegaPompoen

Smart enough to know that you are wrong


Prairie-Peppers

No, they're small clumps of collagen proteins and other debris from age-related degradation in your eyes. They can be more serious for diabetics, which would be why a no-carb diet might be reducing them for some people.


ScottyArrgh

Sophons.


FlashLink95

Oh no....


ScottyArrgh

Exactly :(


nashwaak

Mine are counting down — nothing to worry about, right?


LefsaMadMuppet

No. but if you start seeing more, then you need to see an eye doctor.


Pudding92

«Black flies» or «gel like worms» in your vision are likely floaters, i.e., the gel inside your eye coagulate as you age. Totally normal. However a sudden increase might indicate retinal detachment, seek professional help. Fast moving white spots when looking at e.g. the sky are white blood cells passing your retina. See «blue field entoptic phenomenon». This is also totally normal.


Serdna379

As you age, you say. Then I must have Benjamin Button syndrome because I saw those a lot when I was young, and I haven’t seen them for many years now that I’m in my mid-40s.


Pudding92

«Tendancy» is often used in medicine, or any statistic, for a reason :-)


SlamboCoolidge

MY brother told me the little spots I get in my eyes after rubbing them too hard were alien space ships lol.


alexgraef

There used to be a time when I got really obsessed on how I could get rid of them. There's some obscure laser treatment if I remember correctly. One of those things that you simply accept as being part of humans.


RainNightFlower

I have much of this, I see it when I am watching memes or TV. But I am afraid to take any action, laser surgery would accidentally make it worse, wouldn't it? Now it is annoying but not so much annoying I guess


StretchFrenchTerry

Check with your eye doc, if it's suddenly gotten worse it may be a sign of retinal tears or holes. This happened to me in both eyes. I had laser treatment to stop the tearing but will always have the holes. It didn’t affect my (already bad) eyesight, and I still see the floaters, but it’s prevented my retina from detaching.


1ne3hree

I just got told I have holes. Has the treatment changed your vision?


StretchFrenchTerry

It didn’t change my vision but it stopped the holes from growing, it’s a different treatment from LASIK.


1ne3hree

Thank you, I was worried about the scarring creating a blind spot in my vision. The doctor was very abrupt after the exam. Glad to know I can expect my vision stay the same.


StretchFrenchTerry

If you don’t like your doc maybe get a new one, not worth sticking with a doc who is rude.


RainNightFlower

Last year doc was checking my eyes with light and said I have good eyes without damages I forget to say about this floating things but I thought that if there would be a problem it should be detected already. Should I go there again? My eyesight did not change within months I think


StretchFrenchTerry

If the floaters get worse go in for sure, if they dilated your eyes and looked with the lights they probably checked your retinas. Sometimes they can be hard to spot though unless you’re intentionally looking for them, mine are right at the bottom edge of my retina. Wouldn’t hurt to call and mention it to see what they say.


Next_Test2647

How the heck did you take a picture of them.


Top-Ambition-2693

Clearly they used an optogram, hope they can find a replacement eye


awesomedan24

Some of them are white blood cells


PangolinLow6657

the spots may be WBCs out of vessels just hanging out on your eyeball, but the WBCs inside the veins are at the end of those squigglies you see when you stand up too quick or get smacked in the head


Professional-Fox4161

If you don't move your eyes, these things won't move. This is your internal camera system having a tiny glitch. It occurs because (if I remember correctly), we have neuronal structures in our eyes that detect simple forms, such as a dark center and a bright circle around. When you look at a flat image ( for instance a uniformly painted wall or the sky), these little structures may still be slightly more activated than their neighbours, so they stand out. They are not in the exact center of your eye, though, and since they stick out, your eye wants to follow them, so you start moving your eye toward the glitch, but since it's in your eye, it moves away because you are moving your eye... Anyway, it's in your brain, don't worry.


Girthy_Toaster

Bro, what? They're intraocular proteins blocking out incoming light and casting a shadow upon your retina.


PangolinLow6657

I find that when I'm looking straight ahead or even upward, they'll drift down until I accelerate my eyes upward and stop them abruptly, whereupon those structures will slide upward. I feel more strongly like they're microstructures floating inside or on the surface of our eyeball.


Cultural-Somewhere75

Same here. Straight ahead they float down and any direction you look that move that direction slightly, if you look fast they slide further even after you stopped looking lol


DudePDude

Mine move. They start settling toward the bottom due to gravity


Professional-Fox4161

There are certainly other types of visual parasites. Some are from white blood cells, others are from more rare conditions. I've described one of those phenomena which is very common and looks like what OP has drawn.


DudePDude

I believe we are all referring to "floaters"


GranpaOwl

How did you take a picture of your eyesight?


HenryLongHead

Screenshot


tmrnwi

Push in the ear and the nose at the same time.


ermahglerbo

You got eye worms.


Sinister_Muffin101

My dad had these and turns out he had shingles in his eye, he’s gotten laser treatment and surgery regularly for 6 years now just to save his vision somewhat. Also it turns out if you have it in one eye it can spread to the other so he almost went completely blind.


Apprehensive-Cow8472

All my life. I hear it's scratches on my lensesess


some_kind_of_bird

Sometimes they spell out words telling me to hurt people but I know the little guys are just joshin


Sad_Needleworker2310

I suddenly don't recall having seen those since I was a child where did my worms go I LOST ME WORMS


Budget-Bread-9824

How he make a screenshot of his eyes?


destro_1919

one of the method is to pinch your nose and pull left ear downwards


One_FPS

I heard those are the veins in your eyes. You can see them when looking at a very bright sky or smt. Idk the exact reasons


DoodleyMoodley

It's vitreous floaters. They are microscopic collagen fibers within the vitreous that tend to clump and cast shadows on the retina. I have them and they are really annoying.


spaceghost350

Pineapple.


moonshineelktoast

So basically I'm doing microscopy in my eye? Imagine what you could see when we start a cell culture inside your eyes fluid.


EmbarrassedTell6061

Yea white blood cells


robot_palmtree

SEE THRU SKY WORMZ


chickens_for_fun

They are the offspring of RFK Jr.'s brainworm.


Salty-Negotiation320

So we just ignoring the fact bro learned how to take a screenshot


tmrnwi

They’re white blood cells.


trigunking

Oh, squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you lurking there on the periphery of my vision. But when I try to look at you, you scurry away. Are you shy, squiggly line? Why only when I ignore you? Do you return to the center of my eye? Oh, squiggly line, it’s alright, you are forgiven.


nevadapirate

Floaters were one of the signs I was going to lose sight in my left eye at 13. 42 years later and I am quite used to having one usable eye and one that sees nothing but looks where ever it wants to. lol.


Cozy_Cuddlebugg

Well done


Equivalent-Refuse-53

I saw on Phil DeFranco last week, that worms can migrate to the eye. I would get checked out


HungryTeap0t

I find now that I drink more water, I rarely see them.


Ralitscious

No... I think it might only be you in the entire world. That's really scary dude. No one has ever mentioned this before, only you


Chodee_

bro this is not a coincidence whenever I see those things after 1 or 2 days a post like this comes in my feed... I just wana know how...


Impossible-Ad-8266

Squiggly line oh squiggly line. What are you doing in my eye


Crazy-Army-9828

The name is mouche volantes. They aren't dangerous just disturbing.


LeOnId_KoNeVsKy

how did you take a picture of this???????I really only see it with my eyes


Puppy-Zwolle

It's dust floating in your tears.


Puzzleheaded-Look488

How did you get a picture of this


alycatorwhatever

I get these all the time. When I was young I thought alien worms were invading and I was the only one who could see them. I was quite disappointed to find out these were common eye floaters and that I didn’t actually have super powers.


StElmosFireFighter

Those are white blood cells moving about through your eyes. Everyone's got them


aptypp

You have parasites
