The bubble like circles or clusters are easier to spot if you look up at the open sky. They always appear to be just out of focus or out of your line of vision. Generally they appear to drift lazily downwards. But if you try to concentrate on them, they just keep moving away!!
Does anyone else see them? Is there an explanation for this?

These aren't too unusual. Let your eye doctor know just in case. They are even easier to see if you squeeze your eyes closed for a few seconds and then leave them closed. They then look like big blueberries. They are the viscus liquid inside your eye moving around. Be careful if you see inexplicable flashes of light not from outside sources. That usually means that the liquid is pulling away from the back of your eye. See your eye doctor quickly and make sure they know if the flash was not from an outside source.

They are little particles in the thin coat of saline that your eye generates and since the highest point of the eye is the cornea the saline moves down because of gravity.

I call them floaters and I think they are just little bits of dust on the surface of the eye.

Yes, I see them , and I asked the eye doctor, and he said they are a normal occrrance. they get worse as you get older. Has something to do with your eye. The reason they mlove is cayse they are not centered on your eye, and when youtry to look at them, they move

YES! I see that too - like a little tiny dot! I always wondered what it was. Sorry, I don't know, but I'd love to find out.

Stuff on your eyes. Someone told me once it was bacteria, but dust and other things probably too
