Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye’s vitreous humour, which is normally transparent. At a young age the vitreous is perfectly transparent but, during life, imperfections gradually develop. The common type of floater, which is present in most people’s eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia. Floaters are visible because of the shadows they cast on the retina or their refraction of the light that passes through them, and can appear alone or together with several others in one’s field of vision. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly before the observer’s eyes. Since these objects exist within the eye itself, they are not optical illusions but are entoptic phenomena.
I HAVE WONDERED WHAT THE FUCK THESE ARE MY ENTIRE LIFE
I THOUGHT I WAS SEEING SOME FUCKING CRAZY SHIT BUT
WOW OKAY
HOLY SHIT. THE GUMMY WORMS. IM NOT CRAZY
omfg I always thought I have somekind of worms in my eyes….. >”D Gosh
So that’s what that is!
I see these, but I also see clusters of round ones with a darker spot in the middle and it’s like 50 of them all crammed together. I sometimes wonder if I’m seeing cells somehow. Sometimes I see blood vessels. Or maybe I’m just crazy? But if the blood pressure in my head is high I can sometimes see itty bitty streams of floater-type stuffs that move with each beat of my heart. I should learn more about eye anatomy to see if that is even possible O:
So that’s what these are!
OMG TOTALLY MAKES SENSE NOW LOL

Photographer Lee Eunyeol constructs elaborate light installations that appear as if the night sky was flipped upside down onto the ground, creating beautiful glowing landscapes. The various colored lights resting on the earth’s cracks or lying between tall blades of grass represent glimmering stars and planets.
