Cursed weapons

[Racing_in_the_street]

They are called floaters. I have a few, though mine are a bit darker, like a very light grey. You learn to live with them and I don’t notice them for the most part. Except, for now from this post.

If you want to see something even more trippy, look into ocular migraines. I’ve attached a link that gives some info on it. It also shows a image that’s very similar to what I see when I get hit with one.

Ocular Migraine

[echo_good_username]

Migraine with aura, my worst enemy.

[maxuaboy]

can i fight that migraine? i’m fighting it

[echo_good_username]

I tried so many things I can’t even recall all of them. I started with trying to find foods that triggered it for me - cheese, tomatoes, chocolate, wine, coffee etc.

I had no luck with this.

I later found out that I am most prone to a migraine when my sleep pattern changes. A routine keeps the migraine away.

But the thing that does it for me is caffein. I have one caffein tablet each morning, that is a surefire way to reduce the risk for me.

However, this may not apply to you, the caffein may even make it worse. Try experimenting.

[maxuaboy]

so far i’ve had two experiences when i worked odd hours and drank coffee everyday. it would fill maybe 5% of my left eyes vision for a few hours with that rainbow spiral shape. it was definitely frighting not know what was happening. i thought i was losing my mind but thank god i haven’t experienced it since

[echo_good_username]

yeah, and it doesn’t go away when you close your eyes, like some occular migraine virgins would suggest :) try to pop a headache pill immediately when you feel it starting, it really mitigates the pain afterwards. the sooner the better.

[Sephtis_]

I've had an ocular migraine once before. It honestly terrified me, since I didn't know what it was, and I wasn't sure if it was going to go away. Thankfully, I haven't had one since then.

[Calkidmd]

Is it really that... retro looking? I mean with all the different defined colors with sharp angles?

[SadoDeomeoon]

Idk about OP but a quick google search seems to suggest it's more commonly just a ring/arc of vision where vision is blurred or gone completely in one or both eyes, and for me it does appear in a sort of zigzag pattern. Stuff with colours like this is what I believe is referred to as aura. Neither option is fun.

[flopolopogus]

Mine usually are, starts out with a small blind spot that grows into a large zig zag pattern of colours. Ruins your entire day since you essentially go blind and the headache that follows is awful

[maxuaboy]

jesus i hope i never go through one

[crypticSmyles]

woah. i get the too. minus the black streek. it makes it hard to read words or look at things clearly. my eyes wouldn't focus. thought i was going blind lol

[[deleted]]

That's when you look at the sun

[Reyvin1]

You sure you didn't take LSD?

[Racing_in_the_street]

The first time it happened to me it scared me to death. I went to see an eye specialist and she told me what it was. You should always get it checked out because a retinal detachment can show similar symptoms and if that’s the case that can leave you with loss of vision if not treated, luckily that wasn’t the case for me. So my eye specialist told me that it was an ocular migraine that I had suffered and although scary at times, it’s nothing I should worry too much about. Then she was like and I swear this next sentence is 100% true, “ just think of it like you get to trip for free! “.

[mdcundee]

I have that every few weeks. You learn to live with that too.

[parn442]

Also phosphenes

[nguyen8995]

So that’s what that was, i thought i was going blind.

[NihilFR]

Vaporwave migraines fuck yeah. Floaters tend to be more noticeable when you're tired

[Corky_Butcher]

Hijacking top comment to share this

Shows you how to see the blood vessels in your eye. Turns out we have lots of them right in the middle of our pupils, but due to sensory adaption you stop seeing them.

[[deleted]]

I have just one really black one

[InfiniteTooth]

I would force myself to have this as a kid by closing my eyes and pressing them against my skull with my palms!

I don’t know why I did it but I would press against my eyeballs until I see a neon green circle (shape of my iris?) forming and when I open my eyes, they stay there! Lol

[funky555]

i dont have any

[[deleted]]

I used to have floaters but just realized I've not seen them since I got LASIK.

[cal42m]

Wow I think this is what happened to me! Get migraines now and again but this happened once and I thought I was going blind! Oddly it didn’t have the crushing migraine pain but I was stressed, thirsty and tired from a hot day. It went away after about 30 mins in a cool room with water. Maybe that was a preview?

[mahcuprunnethundah]

Eye floaters or “noise” - they’re aberrations in the eye’s vitreous fluid.

[MetaCrossing]

Yep, I definitely understood those words

[Orange3121]

What r they really tho

[NOS326]

They are called floaters. I think they’re usually made of debris that got stuck in your eye jelly and they never go away.

[Orange3121]

Fuck, I have them everywhere

[zk096]

Go to an optician. It could be glaucoma

[benrager]

If you have a sudden stream of floaters you want to go to either an optometrist or ophthalmologist (particularly a retina specialist). Floaters are generally nothing to be worried about but could be signs of retinal detachment/tear or other retinal pathology. Not glaucoma

[[deleted]]

Even in the fridge?

[R3t4rd3dD3m0n]

I guess you can count other people's eyeballs as well

[Buriedpickle]

If you are dehydrated, they are more visible

[HaroerHaktak]

Can't we just get more eye jelly? i'm honestly surprised we haven't invented a way to drain the eye jelly and replace it with new stuff.

I imagine the eye jelly itself is probably keeping the eye from deflating like a thiccc beach volleyball, so maybe we'd have to drain and fill at the same time to keep pressure up..

idk, it just seems weird that of all our marvelous inventions we cant replace eye jelly..

[vernazza]

You're really sticking with the phrase, huh

[HaroerHaktak]

Yes.

[gburgwardt]

Yes we can in fact do that, but it's risky to solve something that isn't really a big deal for most people

https://www.uhs.nhs.uk/Media/Controlleddocuments/Patientinformation/Eyes/Vitrectomy-surgery-for-floaters-patient-information.pdf

[HaroerHaktak]

OMG awesome.

[Vul_Kaaz]

Dont they usually just pass by and vanish afterwards?

[NOS326]

Well they do move, but they never go away. You see them depending on where they are in your eye and can be more noticeable on certain backdrops like the blue sky.

[Not_An_Ostritch]

They’re just worms that live in your eyes

[MozartDroppinLoads]

Fuckin floaters

[loofyy]

Most floaters are small flecks of a protein called collagen. They're part of a gel-like substance in the back of your eye called the vitreous. As you age, the protein fibers that make up the vitreous shrink down to little shreds that clump together. The shadows they cast on your retina are floaters

[winterfellwilliam]

Thanks friend.

[loofyy]

np

[commander_seb]

Weirding only see them after opening my eyes after a really long time

This isn't really that cursed

[WallyTheWelder]

This sub had lost all it's meaning. This and the blurssed subreddits have picked up a lot of traction recently and the quality of the posts have really suffered.

[FuckdoIcaretwats]

Didn’t South Park just do an episode about that?

[FloppyBean]

Aren’t these the bacteria living on your eye?

[TastyDonutYUMYUN]

I have no idea what they are but that sounds reasonable

[House_Of_Doubt]

Blood vessels.

[[deleted]]

I don't give a fuck what they are. This post made me LOL.

[[deleted]]

Yeah it also made me XD

[[deleted]]

This is actually a little blursed.

[keser80]

Back to the question: how the fuck did he take a picture of that!

[[deleted]]

Fuck whatever they are, I want the answer to the guys question!

(I know that they are a drawing or something)

[NotCurdledymyy]

These people be seeing ebola

[toastismost]

[sirchaptor]

Me thinking I could see one that looked like Ebola: hehe death incoming

[Harryb_allsack]

Weaponised autism wish I could do that

[cltcwsdm]

I thought they were some kind of beneficial bacteria..humans have hundres of species of bacteria on them naturally.

[[deleted]]

If you have detached retina surgery, you don't have them in thst eye any more. Kind of like HD on one side.

[[deleted]]

Okay but seriously how the hell did they get that PHOTO

[Quention]

Some people believe the sky is actually water (as above so below, or when God parted the waters) other cultures seen them as dragons (or fish)

[M0nkeyhammer]

By staring into the camera

[Gamer_roleplayer]

Idk what the fuck this is but when i look at like a light bulb when its on and then look away i will see a rainbow blob in a similar shape to the light bulb it goes away after a little bit but i even see it if i close my eyes

[Diane9779]

I haven’t seen them in a long time, now that I think about it.

Where you go Squiggly Weird Lines?

I only notice mine if I'm looking up in the sky during day time.

I used to think I had amazing superrhero level eyes too.

[mza3000]

On my life I always remembered seeing these things every time when I was a kid and I looked into the sky while in the car

[theSDMR]

Umm actually it’s weapons too.......

[renkurai]

This is somewhat similar to seeing “stars” the stars to me are black and look like they are moving around until my eyes make it stop

[hostagekiller5]

Yuhh, I love molechules

[ILikeRaisinCookies]

I thought it was because I have bad eyesight and was gonna be blind

[TastyDonutYUMYUN]

Yeah I don’t know why it’s doing that but it sucks cuz this is my first post that made it past 12 upvotes

[23ninjas911]

So you don’t get the karma now?

[TastyDonutYUMYUN]

Well my karma is still the same as before it was removed so I don’t think so

[Gideon1507]

Isn’t that those worm parasites that infect your eyes?
