Everybody sees those specks in their vision. They're called "floaters," and are created when tiny clumps form in the clear, jelly-like substance (the vitreous humour) inside the eyeball.
They're not germs. Germs are microscopic.

Well, from My Biology Study. i know that we can't see germs with our naked eyes because they are tiny maybe even the tiniest thing you cannot see. they use scientific microscopes to view tiny objects like that. Did anyone ever tell you that " no matter how much you wash your hands with soaps or hand wash, it is still not clean" Only about 99% germs is attacked maybe but what about the 1%. i think that is why all these detergent or soaps companies say " it removes 99% germs or Stains", but not fully 100%.

Yes it's possible! you may have accidentally constructed a primitive 'Leeuwenhoek' microscope on an eyelash as a spherical water drop after a shower say. I would estimate that the magnification of this is about 500X with a resolution of 0.5 micron, easily enough to see bacteria and other minute structures, allowing for the accommodating power of your own cornea and eye lens in focusing.

Like other posters said, everyone can see these (especially when looking up on a bright day). I've heard that in addition to dust they are also dried bits of capilliaries (the small blood vessels) from the eye itself.

There is a bacteria visible to the naked eye but it is found in the ocean and not likely to be seen everywhere, take a look at the picture here http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/sn_arc99/4_17_99/fob5.htm.

no that tings u see are dust particles in air when light reflects on them they arrear as shiny floating particles
all germs are microscopic u can't see them without a microscope

It is more than likely cellular debris floating across the thin film of moisture that layers the eye. When I see them, I know it is time to change my contact lenses.

No, viruses are impossible to see without a microscope. I've just been reading a book about it =)

Some space aliens look like very small pieces of dust...
and are very very dangerous. I'd stay away from them if I were you.
