It's normal. It happens when you're eyes are adjusting to a sudden change of conditions: intense bright light, getting up quickly when you have been sitting down for a while, traumatic impact to the head - "I see stars!" :-) - , etc. The information your eyes send to your brain gets mixed up for a few seconds.

This is normal.
It relates to the rods and cones in the eye.
Related things...
Floating spots (floaters) are dark specks that appear to move in front of the eye. They are fast-moving or slow-moving clumps of the microscopic fibers that make up the vitreous humor. Floaters become increasingly common with aging. Floaters rarely affect vision and are generally considered normal; however, a sudden increase in the number of floaters (especially in association with flashing lights) may indicate a serious problem, such as a detached retina. A person with these symptoms should be evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
The other effect is even more subtle. Guests will often describe how the "blackness" of space in the telescope field of view seems to somehow shimmer or look spotted. This is actually noise in the signal from our eyes to our brain! Under very low light levels it can look as if the background (not just in the telescope) is a dim version of static on television, rather than appearing completely black. The neurons that are connected to the cells on the retina can "fire," indicating a detection of light without any light actually entering the eye. This level of noise is very low, but easily seen, and perhaps startlingly so, when you are in the dark.
And there is after image, seeing the image after closing your eys, or looking away.

OK I have what is called psuedotumor (intracranial hypertension) when I started seeing thing like that I went to get an eye exam and was diagnosed. I also see a nuero dr for treatment. It could be as simple as a broken blood vessel or it can be was worst as increased eye pressure. The illness I have can lead to blindness, but since I have been fasting my broken blood vessels are healing themselves. Try fasting for 3-10 days and I promise those broken vessels will cure themselves.

You need to be checked by the ophthalmologist, because to discard some serious process about it, but there is a very common condition called "the flies", that little spots "swimming" in your vision field, they are surpluses of the eye, they can be cleaned by laser BUT the same laser coul make more of it..lol, go to your physician , be fine.

Yes, they are floaters and it is normal. Everyone, who has vision, experiences them. The brain learns to ignore them with normal view, but as you've noticed, you can see them when you try to focus on them.

These are also floaters. There is no way of getting rid of them and they increase with age. My father and sister are eye surgeons and I've asked them this as well.

You are probably seeing gamma ray particles. You should apply for a super hero license immediately.
