Question about lights

KnowItAll

Sometimes (3 or 4 times) I see clusters of small lights about arms length from my face. I thought first that they were coming from inside my head but they were not because I moved my head and body and the lights stayed in the same place. It lasts for about 10 - 15 seconds. Does anybody have an idea what it might be?

Orbs perhaps? A mysterious phenomenon often caught on camera, particularly in locations of high strangeness.

I get moving lights in front of my eyes anytime I look at a blank surface, or cloud cover etc, kinda like sparks. (Havent a clue what it is, if any opticians here can explain Id be delighted) Is this what you see?

At first I thought it was my eyes so I focused on something else but the lights stayed in the same area of the room. The room was dark and I only seen them 3 or 4 times ever. Thanks for your replys!

Sounds like floaters to me. I have the same condition. It's nothing paranormal or anything. You're suppose to get it in your senior years but poor me in my teens. Here's a link .

............... sure it might be migrane?

It could be Synaesthesia. I saw a programme on the BBC awhile ago:

I used to suffer severe migraines myself (probably from alien implants or mind control) and the blind spot would always move when you moved your head/eyes (in other words, it was always a fixed blind spot on a certain part of the eye). Likewise, floaters (or dead cells in the eye) would not appear to be at the same point in the room when you looked around (although I admit this is a possibility).

Having read a bit on synaesthesia, I wouldn't say this type of vision problem would be a classic example of the phenomenon. With synaestesia, you normally get things like seeing numbers/letters in different colours, seeing sounds as colours, tastes etc. Again it could be this though, but I don't think so.

To pick a conventional scientific explanation, my favourite would be the floaters theory, where dead cells in the eye can sometimes 'float' down our field of vision.

Knowitall, have you ever experienced any unexplained phenomenon in the house/room in question, do you see halos around light sources, have you had an eye examination by an optician?

I get these. Told the optition.

Solution is to hold out your 2 index fingers one behind each other, then bring them both closer to you. Excersise your eye by trying to keep both in focus for as long as possible. Repeat daily.

What did the optician say was causing this snapscan?

Thanks for the replys folks!

I'm starting to think it was inside my eyes. I'm being convinced! Though I must say that I have never suffered from migranes and these lights only appeared 3 or 4 times ever. Optician said I had healthy eyes.

Question for the other people who has this problem: how often does it occur?

Well it started off as 3 or 4 times a week, but gradually after a couple of moths I see them practically everywhere I go! And yes it's right that your optician says that you have healthy eyes. My optician says the same.

All the time, any time I bother to notice. Its not floaters, btw, I get them too, and this is different
