What am eye seeing?

Question

As a kid eye remember pushing/putting pressure on my eyes with my fingers while eye closed my eyes. And when eye would do this, eye would see the same thing every time. Eye would see lots of dots (maybe blue), then it would become checkered squares and stuff like that, and eventually eye would see what looked like a yellow sun in the middle, and it kinda resembled an eye. What causes this, what am i seeing, is it bad for your eyes (im guessing it is), mostly what is this?

Answer 6

you are mechanically putting pressure on the sensory receptors of your eye.  this produces a sensation that resembles that of the "sun" or "checked squares."  this is why if you ever get hit in the eye with a ball, you see star-like images b/c the photoreceptors in your eyes are physically being stimulated.  it's funny how cartoons depict us actually "seeing stars" when are eyes are being stimulated but that is exactly what is happening.
