I went to bend down to change the cats' water and all of a sudden I see several white little dots around me. It was kinda neat and kinda of WTF is this shit. Turns out it was just my white blood cells traveling through the veins in my eyes.

Or was it?

It's similar effect to sneezing. Occasionally, after a very strong sneeze, you will see those white dots.

There's even a name for it.

Huh, so that's what they call that phenomenon when I stare at the sky and see dot-like flashes. (No, not at the sun, that'd just leave sun-shaped holes in my vision.)

Oh, so that's what it is.

I've always wondered about that.

I always see weird things in front of my eyes. For as long as I can remember my vision has been staticy (I don't really know how to explain this, I can see millions of tiny black and white dots just as if you were watching a television channel that had static on it but it wasn't bad enough that you couldn't see the picture). I have no idea why my eyes were like this, maybe because I sat to close to the TV when I played video games when I was younger or because I played the Virtual Boy before I was 7 years old? Either way I've become used to it and don't usually realize that they're there unless I'm looking at something really bright or dark .

I usually get that when I look at something really bright. Like the bright white sidewalks at college during bright sunny days.

...I really need some sunglasses.

I get that at night all the time.

I get that as well, but if I'm not thinking about it, then I can't see it. But once I do, it's there. Like now, after reading your post.

Same here, but my eyes are really terrible. My retinas didn't develop properly.

Your eyes have dead pixels.

Pretty much, except the only difference it looks like they're constantly flashing. I can even see them when my eyes are closed .

Worst is when you get them at work because people haven't closed the blinds and you're getting the sunset right in your face, flashing across your monitor.

I usually take a break for a minute or two if that happens.

On some occasions, I would see a wormhole shaped "thing" that seems to move. Not sure why and what the hell it is, but I think it only happens when I'm outside. It hasn't happened for a while, so that's why I failed to mention it before.

Floaters.
I have them as well. I always wondered what they were, and I finally saw an episode of Mystery Diagnosis that featured someone with the same problem.

I didn't think it would be considered a floater. Then again, what could it be. I doubt it's an actual worm hole.
