Technically, it can be possible to see vitreous floaters in your field of view with your eyes closed in certain circumstances, such as if I'm lying down on a beach in Florida and the sun is shining overhead. This will allow enough light to seep through the thin layers of my eyelids so that I can still see floaters casting a shadow on my retina. My optometrist was able to see the bilateral floaters inside my eyes using a special lens, so I know they are not cortical. Thankfully, a lot of them seem to have sunk over time or something, as I don't see as many floaters dashing across my field of view as I move my eyes as I used to. They used to be very bothersome.
Good to know, thank you for explaining it so well
Keep up the good work
Please treatment
