What are those microscopic things you can see on your own eyes?

Question

If you lay down outside..and look up to the sky during the day...you can see little tiny things scurrying around on your eye. It's like they are microscopic bugs or something?

Anybody know what I am talking about?

Answer 1

Yes, they are "floaters". As you get older, you'll see more of them. Sometimes they look clear, other times they look like dark spots, threads or squiggles. You learn to focus past them after a while.

Here's a more technical explaination.
