Seeing in the comments that so many other people also thought they could see atoms is so crazy. Last time I stumbled upon this phenomenon was in a comment section where someone asked if anyone knows the feeling of really wanting to punch in their dreams but the punch doesn't happen haha. I love it that so many other people experience the same stuff I do.
Look I asked my aunt when I was little and she thought I was losing my eye strength and needed glasses. Then for a while I thought that I was a superhero with eye powers because literally no one talked about this ever, not in science class, school, college, work... Never anywhere. Then I found this video randomly on a random, uninteresting day.
I experience this two phenomena every once in a while, although the floaters are far more common. I’m so glad to finally get an answer to what they are and what differentiates them.
I barely noticed that, but I was wondering what these things were since somewhere between 2007-2010, also this video just popped up in my recommended yesterday
I NEVER realised they were _inside_ the eyeball, I thought they were on the surface of my pupil. Great educational video. The tiny darts of light were always my favourite. When I was a kid I would induce heavy sneezes just to see them lol.
I'm Not entirely Convinced that they aren't "Living creatures." Are they in my eyes? Are they in the Air? I don't know, but I'm a bit relieved that I'm not the Only one who sees them. 👌
That likely means the same thing for you that it means for me: your retina is thinning. I would go to the eye doctor and have them look in the eye and check it. If it's thinning, they will just check it every year and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't detach.
That's funny, mine asked me how much I was paying for my LSD then proceeded to tell me about free natural sources..... Hmm? He didn't like me, I think he wanted me dead?
Fahmi Hoque LOL same!! But I never had it before but if I have something in my eye or you know those moments when you stare at a light for too long and have a big mark in your site I HATE IT SOOOO MUCH!!!! I seriously freak out.
i swear i never saw those things in my entire life i clicked at the video because my bestriend said that she have that and i was like what the ... but i tought she was special i never knew that this is rly a thing🤯🤯🤯 btw sry for my bad english
i have what’s called visual snow so i have excessive floaters as well as many other visual phenomena. sometimes it’s very overwhelming but this video brings me sm peace.
If it gets so bad that it impacts on your life negatively you can have a vitrectomy. It's painless, and within a week or so you have perfectly clear vision.
When I was little i asked my parents about this and they never understood what I was talking about. So i grew up thinking i was the only one noticing this but then I saw this in my recommended and I freaked out lol!!! THANKS
Finally i got the answer . When i was in high school i was sitting in my tution class and my science class was going on when this phenomenon happened. I was curious and my teacher noticed and asked what are u doing? I SAID I AM ABLE TO SEE MICRO ORGANISMS IN AIR. I can never forget her look.
I've seen these since I was a child 😭They're usually colourful and move around wherever I look, I genuinely thought I was going blind back then. So glad someone finally answered my childhood question!
@@chahatchiki1203 How is that scary? are you 5 or something? He's not going to change his profile picture just because it's scary for you. 5 year olds shouldn't be watching UA-cam.
Fleiki Plays Games. If you aggressively insult someone on the internet for asking politely something they don't like you are probably not even near 5. Your fact of how "5 years old's shouldn't be watching UA-cam" is completely senseless, there are parents who turn on cartoons showed around UA-cam for their 5, if not, even younger children. Learn to use manners correctly, you are old enough to know this.
I thought I was the only one experiencing this phenomenon, I tried explaining this so many times to the people around me but they never really understood me or my situation. Well now Im glad that I'm not the only one who experiences this and I can show others this videos whenever I need to explain about this phenomenon. Thank you Teded.
This video actually helped me and my girlfriend find out that she has visual snow syndrome after looking up the blue field entoptic phenomenon so thank you so much for bringing that up!
I have floaters since my early childhood. I asked many times my parents and other adults what those transparent things moving in the sky were, and they always replied that it was my imagination. So I kept this to myself for years until I read about this in a magazine, as a teen. I felt so vindicated at the time.
I also used to say this but yesterdaay I can,t tell you what I wrote on google and searched after that I came to know what is it.at that time I did not believe .I thought eye floaters are something else but now I believe.I also thought that I am the only person who can see them
I'm Not entirely Convinced that they aren't "Living creatures." Are they in my eyes? Are they in the Air? I don't know, but I'm a bit relieved that I'm not the Only one who sees them. 👌
I'm surprised. I always thought floaters were a pretty commonly known thing. I started getting them in my early 20s and suspected as much. Asked an eye doctor and he confirmed it.
Me as well, went to the optician repeatedly until I stumbled upon someone who knew about floaters, but he never explained it to me like this. I love UA-cam
OMG!!!! My lifelong question has finally been answered! What a day this is!!!!! I used to think that I had an eye condition where I was able to see organisms like bacteria in my eyes. Now I will finally be able to die in peace!
Man I was freaking out for the past few years thinking my eyes were slowly getting damaged from all the time I spend on my computer haha. Glad to know that is not the case.
When I realized I had this, I thought it was some form of abnormality that would cause serious eye issues later on. Worse, I didn’t even know how to describe it to anyone; little did I know it’s a common phenomenon. Knowledge is truly power!!
@@speedlunary797 I dunno, but maybe my pupils are just too large I have figured recently that there are a lot of "normal" things I cannot do, like apparently most people can unfocus their eyes, and most people have a dominant eye. Neither of those make any sense to me Also any pixel density below 90 PPI for monitors is extremely jarring for me as I see the individual pixels at normal viewing range
Okay... so I went to the eye doctor. I was seriously worried and it really is a floater!!! She said you would have to be from a third world country to get a parasite in tour eye! Phew......
That makes sense. The optician said if there were too many floaters to get in touch, but I only ever saw the smaller blighters. That blue sprite phenomena is quite fun to watch when it happens. Like watching the Action Potential, or electrical impulses conducted by neurons. Thank you for clearing up what these things are.
Those could simply be phanromal spirits. I use to see them when I was younger. I used to live in a neighborhood which use to be a army base. Outside my house was a big old tree, and whenever I closed my eyes, I'd see a figure in the tree looking up. I remember my little brother saying he saw a boy hanging from a tree with some sort of string across his neck. The boy would be screaming. My brother once said that the boy had blood dripping off wherever he looked. The girl I saw just stared at me, never moved. Still see them sometimes, tbh, but very rarely.
*immediately opens google and searches for symptoms of eye cancer* *sees one symptom that you think you have* *panics and starts bursting into hysterics*
When I was a kid, I always “played” with these things. I tried to keep those dots in the middle of my eye sight and I always wondered what it actually is. Thanks for finally telling me
I have it a little different it usually happens at night and they make like peace signs squares triangles like formulated shapes What does seem very unnatural End it feels like they’re coming towards me from the back of the bed and then they just disappear they just fade out
Exactly, or when I simply close my eyes sometimes, also it intensifies when I rub my eyes. Sometimes it feels like the shapes have a specific colour too, because they are different from each other, but I really can't say what colour, as if I see a whole new colour that doesn't exist outside
Take a shiny object in front of your face, you can see the shiny reflections on it like stars, but if you put it closer to your eyes you can see that they are round. Look close enough and you can see bacteria... I think.
OMG this makes me so happy to see. When I was in high school 20 years ago, I would ask a few teachers about these things. I would consistently be told I'm not seeing anything or I must have been rubbing my eyes right before seeing them. Nice to finally find out I wasn't crazy. Well, at least not crazy about this. :D
I remember as a small child, maybe even a toddler, playing with these in my eyes, chasing them around in sight trying to capture them. Never knew what they were. Now I'm 70, I'm still playing with them. Half my lifetime ago I found out the name of them; just a few short years ago I found out nothing could be done about it. If I live to be 90, I've got 20 more years of fun!
You can make them stop moving so you can focus on them. Pour lemon juice, hot sauce or bleach in your eyes. Trust me I know sounds weird but it works. Your eyes will stop working and you'll see a full scan of the floaters once you leave hospital.
Been watching both of them from a child in idle time. Thanks for the video. The Blue Sky Sprites as you call it are seen by me: rainbow colored with a white tail. There's also a colorful field I can see glowing and disappearing in different areas after some minutes of idle watching. It looks like how those old TVs used to show.
WARNING I am the unprettiest human alive and I need YT to afford my house and the desires of my two girlfriends so please observe my highly stimulating videos, dear iconic
I always thought it was a common thing. Then some jackass on the internet said that it's a disease that u get from exposing your eye to screens for too long. My mum endorsed that statement, and since shes a nurse, I really believed it for a long time. Turns put, she just did what all mothers do, she lied to get me off my ps4
When I was younger, I thought I was the only one who saw them, sometimes when I was bored and saw them, I ended up trying to guess their shape or color and trying to focus them better, but they moved a lot and it was very difficult as soon as I saw them disappear , sometimes I thought it was a power like in the movies, and other times it was strange that only I saw them, but I was ashamed to ask other people if they also saw them, and if they thought I was crazy?. or that I imagined things or worse that I invented them ...
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING THIS. I'd try to catch the floaters when I was a kid and everyone thought I was crazy. I was so frustrated cause no one'd understand

Ohhh come on , I thought I had some special powers that I can see atoms floating in the air

Omg same lmfao 😂😂😂

Neville Goddard took a very simple approach to letting go.
When I was a kid, I always “played” with these things. I tried to keep those dots in the middle of my eye sight and I always wondered what it actually is. Thanks for finally telling me

I did that too
Yes I did the same too!

You don’t have dark mode on?
I have gray/grey (not sure which), mode on.
Yo someone got light theme
I have it a little different it usually happens at night and they make like peace signs squares triangles like formulated shapes What does seem very unnatural End it feels like they’re coming towards me from the back of the bed and then they just disappear they just fade out
wow happened same to me
Sleep paralysis...?
WHAT, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS
Exactly, or when I simply close my eyes sometimes, also it intensifies when I rub my eyes.
Sometimes it feels like the shapes have a specific colour too, because they are different from each other, but I really can't say what colour, as if I see a whole new colour that doesn't exist outside
I think these are called phosphenes
When i was a kid, i thought i had the special power by watching those thing in my eyes
Same too

Finally I have unlocked this secret jujitsu that has been locked in our body for ages .
Finally after 30 yrs I got the answer. And I thought I can see the microorganisms without Microscope.
Take a shiny object in front of your face, you can see the shiny reflections on it like stars, but if you put it closer to your eyes you can see that they are round.
Look close enough and you can see bacteria... I think.
and you can see your own nose in vision whereever you look. and cannot unsee it.

Omg saammeeee

Before, I thought I was having an eye illness and I'm soon going to end up being sightless; now, I'm enlightened and relieved.
Literally sameeeee

Same, for 2-3 years I thought my vision was becoming awful TT
SAME HERE
Me too oh mah gawd
I thought my eyes are so good that they could see these small things in the air.
lol
I thought they were microorganisms lmfao
I always thought they were my eye veins of something 🤷🏽♀️
😂😂😂😂😂

OMG this makes me so happy to see. When I was in high school 20 years ago, I would ask a few teachers about these things. I would consistently be told I'm not seeing anything or I must have been rubbing my eyes right before seeing them. Nice to finally find out I wasn't crazy. Well, at least not crazy about this. :D
lmaoo
Me: Mom I see some weird worm ghosts.
Mom: it’s because of that damn phone.

I remember as a small child, maybe even a toddler, playing with these in my eyes, chasing them around in sight trying to capture them. Never knew what they were. Now I'm 70, I'm still playing with them. Half my lifetime ago I found out the name of them; just a few short years ago I found out nothing could be done about it. If I live to be 90, I've got 20 more years of fun!
i love you so much
Damn you are old
this comment is so nice☺️
Very well
70 really!! So nice to hear
Holy...! It's been haunting me for years, even now! And the algorithm just brought this video to me!
Many thanks TED-Ed.
Narrator: "They are not alive"
Picture: *eye worm with the eye moving*
No cap,made hard to watch the video without getting disturbed
I thought I had super vision and I could see atoms and bacteria without microscope 😂
Lol

Same lol
Yes!!! 😂😂😂😂😂that's what I thought😂
haha so me
I always hated when I'd try to look directly at them and they would float away
Juan Gonzalez saaamee
Same here
You can make them stop moving so you can focus on them.
Pour lemon juice, hot sauce or bleach in your eyes.
Trust me I know sounds weird but it works.
Your eyes will stop working and you'll see a full scan of the floaters once you leave hospital.
@@marztar i believed it until I read bleach xD
@@marztar
What! Don't do that. That might hurt someone seriously.
Been watching both of them from a child in idle time. Thanks for the video. The Blue Sky Sprites as you call it are seen by me: rainbow colored with a white tail.
There's also a colorful field I can see glowing and disappearing in different areas after some minutes of idle watching. It looks like how those old TVs used to show.
A moment of silence for those who are still thinking that they have weird eyes
it's DEKU!!
I want. Month of silence 😭😭
i used to catch them with hands and today i found what they were!!🤣
Thought I was going blind geez
I never thought they were weird, just thought they were part of my astigmatism. They get worse sometimes
The fact that they’re inside of the eyes make them scarier.
Yep 💀
I don't mind them at all. It's not a bacteria or parasite... It's not something alive, why would someone find it scary ?
Seeing this comment before the video scares me
Lol
Go outside when the sun is bright. Close your eyes for a minute or more. You can see this weird greenish blue colour
In my childhood it always happen with me and I think what's wrong with my eyes..but now I get it what it is..Thank for this video
*chitra. p.s* me too
Same with me
*chitra. p.s* ive seen you in a complEly different video
I have this in my eyes I see what this person explains everyday and it does go away and show back up again
Damn, I thought I was the only one to have this back when I was child, but now... ok
WARNING I am the unprettiest human alive and I need YT to afford my house and the desires of my two girlfriends so please observe my highly stimulating videos, dear iconic
@@AxxLAfriku what TF?
Same here I thought I had some problem with my mind and eye when I was a kid but now finally understand😊
Who else felt they were the only one seeing it
I always thought it was a common thing. Then some jackass on the internet said that it's a disease that u get from exposing your eye to screens for too long. My mum endorsed that statement, and since shes a nurse, I really believed it for a long time. Turns put, she just did what all mothers do, she lied to get me off my ps4
Of course me
lil Captis I damn sure did
Hehe I thought I was seeing Atoms
Me lol
She forgots something,
The trick when you scratch your eyes too hard that you travelled to another dimension
I don't scratch it lol I rub it
Do you mean travel to the sun😂😂😂
Ohh yes
What if you scratch one eye?
Yes, it happens with me a lot
i had to become 35 years to lern about one of my oldest questions. thank you so much.
what are those colorful dots when we close our eyes?
You're looking deeper into another dimension
My man I know exactly what you mean I used to get scared of them when I was a kid they were red and green
It means you been staring into a light source for too long
Phosphenes
The back of ur eyelids
I always used to wonder why I could see bacterias without using microscope
😂😂😂 even I used to think my eyes got super power to see bacteria in the air😝😜

Swear I thought I could see molecules

You basically do
Double K that is hilarious! I did too!
Same
What are they? Omg
When I was younger, I thought I was the only one who saw them, sometimes when I was bored and saw them, I ended up trying to guess their shape or color and trying to focus them better, but they moved a lot and it was very difficult as soon as I saw them disappear , sometimes I thought it was a power like in the movies, and other times it was strange that only I saw them, but I was ashamed to ask other people if they also saw them, and if they thought I was crazy?. or that I imagined things or worse that I invented them ...
Me pasaba lo mismo. 😂
Same 2 same bro 😂👍
I also think like that
I also felt like u only in my childhood
Well that just put a big smile on my face
Same, I thought I was special.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING THIS. I'd try to catch the floaters when I was a kid and everyone thought I was crazy. I was so frustrated cause no one'd understand
Come to me, let me give you a hug
