I'm seeing weird dots....help please?

Question

I see (most of the time at night) strange dots!

Usually, they're white, and I usually see them in the air.

When I stare in the darkness, sometimes it looks like VERY thin snow, and sometimes they look like white and black dots floating in space! And also, sometimes I can see shapes in them like circles, but usually blobs.

I sometimes also see other shapes, to, like animal shapes, ext.

Please tell me what this is! I know it's not just me, because

everyone else I ask says they see white dots too!

Please tell me what this might be!

Answer 1

it could be at ur blood pressure is low  or it may have something to do with a quick change in position which alters your blood flow

Answer 2

Everybody else does not see white dots.  It is a condition called Floaters and usually you see the dots near the periphery of the eye.  I had them for years.  They were most annoying, but harmless.  Now, thank god, they are gone.  If the condition persists, I suggest that you speak either to your ophthalmologist or your optometrist.  They may be able to give you some eye exercises that might help.

EDIT;  If you Google "Floaters" you will find lots of information on them.  Here is one such helpful website: http://www.stlukeseye.com/Conditions/Flo...  bit there is a lot more information out there.  I'm no expert but the information is available to you.

Answer 3

Normal!  close your eyes & don't worry about it. Your optic nerve has to have time to relax, too!

Answer 4

Its just ionic particles going through your brain, don't worry

Answer 5

Interesting, I see white dots myself.  I can see them when I stare at my silver car while taking eyesight out of focus during the day (as least it's the easiest that way).  Shapes as well, just like you stated, blobs, sometimes taking different shapes.  I'm curious myself for the cause/reason behind it.
