Weird things in your eye.
Has anyone else ever seen them weird...things, floating around in your eye, they look like cells, and are nicknamed 'floaters'. Just curious, want to see if anyone else has had it happen before, and what causes it. (From what I've heard, they are caused by the sun what creates some kind of shadow?)

I am 100% sure I had this when I was younger, because I remember that I kept following little things with my eye and how they always slowly moved away. No clue why I had that stuff (probs because I'm nearsighted) but it's gone now for some reason, I don't even remember when I stopped having them. |

It looks like an eyelash in my eye, it started appearing in 3rd grade, now it carried on today at 10th.

Veritasium has a video on this. It's mostly about the physics but talks about the "floaters" towards the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9c8oZ49pFc |

I mainly see them when I look at a bright, plain background, like the sky or a white wall.

They are actually bodies of dead bacteria lying in front of your iris region. When you move around, bacteria present in the air of various sizes start accumulating in your eyes. WBCs kill them but their bodies lie there for sometime before they are removed by tears or by some other interbody agents.So when light falls on your eyes, the dead bodies refract the light before it hits your retina. Thus you see rainbow balls flying around in the air. It happens mostly around the time when you wake up, when intense light directly falls on your eyes or when your eyes are a bit tired and ciliary muscles are trying to keep the lens at focal length.
