Do I have bacteria on my eyes?

Question

I have very sharp eyesight, sharper than 20/20, and I know this because I can see much better than one who has gotten Lasik eye surgery.

Anyways, I can see things swimming in my eye. It looks like strands with cells in them. If you could, try to imagine a strand of saffrom made up of circular cells. Is it bacteria I'm seeing or what? Obviously it is part of the liquid on my eyes.

I honestly mean it when I say I see the cells of the things on my eye... I knew someone wouldn't understand. I need a scientist.

Answer 1

You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They are called floaters. You can often see them when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or blue sky. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.

Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye.

Answer 2

You have bacteria everywhere.

You are, in fact, a huge bacteria colony. Most are on your skin and in your intestines.

What you see in your eyes are called floaters, the things that look like bacteria are actually red blood cells that have leaked out of the veins in your eye.

This is fairly normal and nothing to be concerned about. The number of floaters does increase with age and can be annoying.

Answer 3

LOL No, it's not bacteria. They are called floaters. Tell your eye doctor about them. Doesn't matter if you have "Better than 20/20" vision, you should still see an eye doctor every few years.

Answer 4

I see them too. I think they are the red blood cells traveling through the capillaries in the retina. Someone once told me that you can also see free floating fatty deposits and precipitates in the eye fluid.

Answer 5

I honestly see somethings floating when I look up to the sky blue.
