I’ve always seen the occasional little floater, like an amoeba, but after I stare at a computer screen for awhile, my vision gets really messed up. I hope it’s not permanent.
Visual snow, so that’s what it’s called. I’ve always had it. Very faint, you sort of have to stare in the distance and “look without seeing”, to notice it. it used to look like “invisible rain mist” when I was a kid, now it’s more like high resolution pixelated static. I suspect this is a lot less rare than the wiki article states, and most people just don’t notice it.
I’ve never seen that. I have had (and still have) visual migraines (without the headache, thankfully). I never knew want to call them until I asked an ophthalmologist about it.
About ten or fifteen years ago, I noticed that when I turn on a light when it is dark, sometimes I see numerous black/blank spots (like in an image printed in the newspaper made up of black dots and white spaces and white dots with black spaces) in the image that disappear in a fraction of a second. I think it is caused by light hitting my retina for the first time in a while, and what I see is the pixelated picture for a short moment in time before the natural motion of the eyes (saccade?) causes the blank spots to be “filled in” by the light now hitting different spots on my retina. Kind of like the post upstream where the poster mentioned your brain filling in the missing pieces in a low-resolution image.
I see pixels when im tired everything goes into little tiny squares of light. Ive often wondered if anyone else gets it. It doesn’t happen at any other time just when tired and i always think when i get it that its time to go to bed.
