When i look at the world i see tiny dots 'buzzing'.Similar to the tv screen when there are no programs on.I can still see everyone and everything but it gives me a sense of two dimensional rather than three.Can anyone explain this please?

too much time at the computer, atoms cannot be seen by the human eye.

Atoms are far too small to see, even the world's most powerful microscopes can hardly see individual atoms. If you could see them with the naked eye you would easily be able to see the individual hairs on a dog from a mile away. Eyes just can't see things this small - not even birds of prey can see them.
I would say that your magic atomic vision is just some minor fault with your optic nerve and noting to worry about.

What meds are you on?

You can't see atoms directly--you can probe and reconstruct an atom in various ways that you can visualize. Electron microscopy does this (sort of). If you are seeing things in 2 dimensions rather than 3, it means that your brain isn't able to coordinate the overlapping images between your 2 eyes for some reason.

No, you can't see atoms. They are much smaller than you can imagine.

There is a very rare eye condition where the cones become disconnected and when they recover the wiring is scrambled so you see strange twinkling dots. This goes away in a couple of days as the brain rewires pathways.

Its rare because the eye doesn't usually recover from this.

Yes, the electron tunneling microscope has been invented, and we can now see atoms.

The dots, or stars as they are called, I have been told are brain cells dying. Weather this is true or not requires more research.
In the cartoons you see stars flying around peoples heads, this is what you are experiencing.

Go see an opthalomologist. You might have one of the worst cases of lack of depth perception I've ever heard. Also, it's physically not possible for humans to discern atoms, it violates principles of wave optics.
