Thanks for sharing i just discovered this a week ago!

Crazy that we can see our own white blood cells and all we have to do is look up at the sky :)

In my experience those white lights/graininess exists even when looking at other objects. Been trying to find a name for this.

Is this true in others experience?

I know there’s a phenomenon called visual snow but it’s not a negative experience like that seems to be for people. There’s also eigengrau but I experience this even in good lighting.

"Floaters"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater

They're caused by little bits of gunk floating in the fluid inside your eyeball.

> They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of "cobwebs", which float slowly before the observer's eyes, and move especially in the direction the eyes move.

Floaters should usually be dark, not bright white.

I know what you're talking about. My neuro said it was still visual snow syndrome. I don't find it to be a negative experience, just something you see. Like (mild) tinnitus, it's only negative if you perceive it as negative.

I can see stuff with my eyes closed while facing a bright light or in a dark room or with eyes open in a dark sky area. Some of it is floaters but there are other effects, not exactly matching the descriptions on wikipedia but it could be the same things.

I think the pattern and intensity of visual snow is supposed to be different than this.
