Very thin squiggly black lines

Question

I was just sitting in a chair in this one room where the ceiling and walls are mostly white, and when I looked up at the ceiling from my book, I noticed these tiny, really thin black squiggles in my eyesight, kind of like I had some fibers on my glasses, but they moved when I tried to focus on them, like if you try to look at an imprint that a light leaves in your eyes, it moves with them. I cleaned off my lenses, and they were still there as well. This is not really the first time I've noticed, but it seemed more prominent than before, when I really thought it was just a smudge. I just got my eyes checked not even a month ago so I really don't know what's up with this...

Answer 1

those squiggly lines are floaters. Just about everyone sees them sometimes. if you suddenly see a lot of them, or if half of your vision goes totally dark, or if you suddenly see flashing lights, then go straight to a doctor because it could mean a retinal tear. Normally, though- floaters like you described are absolutely normal.

Answer 2

i little squiggles in my eyesight when i stare at something (like a book or homework) for a long time, but they go away after awhile and rubbing my eyes help.
