Everyone sees them but what ARE they

Question

in the dark if you really focus on the air in front of you -you can see sparkles and patterns and lots of cool stuff really!

(i see golden sparkles and swiss signs)

what do YOU see and what do u think it is?

Answer 1

the lens in your eye is not unlike the lens in a camera.

  The sparkles in your eyes are a combo of dust, scratches, and other foreign objects that are setting on the eye when you close.like a picture negative  it is a negative image of what is on your eye. In the dark it gets exposed. presto sparkles and patterns. When your eyes are closed and you move your eyes around the sparks move with the eye. also in the light what ever you look at like a t.v. screen or your monitor on your computer when you close your eyes you see a negative image only brief of what you just looked at. Hope this explains.

Answer 2

Yeah i get these, weird aren't they?

I think they look like bits of lint or cotton floating about!

Answer 3

probably just dust or the particles on your eyes. its kinda cool tho i guess.  

Answer 4

Its gaps where there is not enough light and your eyes are still trying to send messages to your brain. When it turns dark, your vision looses colour because your eyes can see better in black and white in the semi-dark.

Answer 5

Ghosts of course! Hi grandma!

Just kidding. Probably electricity in your brain. When you turn your eyes all the way to the right or left you can see light. It's nothing out of the ordinary. Probably.
