Have you ever seen movement out the corners of your eyes? If so, what's causing it?

Question

I'm not a weirdo, a hippie, or a supernaturally type of person but for the past month (and I don't use drugs...lol) I keep seeing things on left and right corners of my eyes. It happens in both light and dark and always when I'm not expecting it. Do you know what causes this odd phenomenon? Is it just some ocular distortion? It sort of looks like, well, a fluid movement and then it's solid, but when I look, it's gone. I wear reading glasses but only sporadically...my eyesights pretty good. I'm in good health and oddly it started happening when this semester ended and I started sleeping more...weird! Anyway, your thoughts? p.s. I don't think it's a ghost...lol.

Answer 1

its ure peripheral vision

Answer 2

If it looked like jagged lines, or flashes of light, you should see an optometrist right away. It could be a sign of retinal detachment. When was your last eye exam? I would get it checked out just in case. It could also just be a floater - a small bit of protein in your ocular fluid. Those are very common.

Answer 3

It is high blood pressure. I do get it time to time, after high stressing movements.
