i have wizard eyes (kinda intense floaters and visual snow) i think its from pressing on my closed eyes too much as a kid for a legal high

i used to think i was seeing bacteria or individual cells floating in my eye juices

like they were so close to the photoreceptors my eyes acted like a microscope

i swear i made out cellular nuclei or organelles sometimes

Damn that's pretty cool I always though it was just my retinal receptors spazzing out due to the combination of the color and light intensity.

[–] robotElder2@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I saw those while I was high in a park one time and it really freaked me out. Cool to know that's supposed to happen.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

look at those little guys go!

[–] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Oh wait! That's actually what those are?? I thought that was just reaction to light or my hallucinations!

Floaters could represent several things comrade. If i were you, id see an eye specialist.

My floaters were from a detaching retina which required emergency surgery 150 miles from home. Dont dilly dally, comrade. Putting it off can just make a bad thing worse.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

I've had them for like three decades. I think I can dilly dilly a bit more

Tiny civilizations engaging in their version of intergalactic space travel

Sometimes I sneeze extra hard just so I can see them floating around.

[–] a_party_german@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Any of you guys old enough to have PVD by any chance?

Got mine about 2 years ago, nice Weiss ring floater and all. It's pure hell.

Please don't get old.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Recently I sneezed hard enough to get these.

[–] CarlMarks@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it was a lot of them at once that is a sign of retinal detachment and should be treated ASAP.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Woah. I'm doing good rn. Was just a couple, thankfully.

But I do sneeze pretty hard.

[–] CarlMarks@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Glad it was just a couple! Almost definitely the usual culprit then - just little bits from the gel in your eye moving around and getting stuck in your field of vision. Harmless!
