How is it possible that people are seeing something microscopic like cells (eye floaters)?

Question

I encountered the question: There is something floating in my eyes. Is there anything wrong with my eyes? ...After looking for info on those floating eye things (Stewie mentions this in a recent Family Guy episode).

Answer 1

Adding to what the first poster said: It isn't just that you are seeing the diffraction patterns and not the stuff itself, but that you are seeing stuff in your field of vision that is literally *inside* your eyeball. Most of the proteins and/or cell debris (the reason my doctor gave me) that are visible are present in the Aqueous or Vitreous Humors...that is, either in the fluid between the lens and retina in the eyeball itself, or in the fluid between the cornea and lens.

Meaning, it isn't just that the light gets bent and diffracted, but that it gets bent and diffracted on average *less than a full inch away* from your retinal tissue at the back of your eye where the seeing nerves are. It's about as extreme a close-up as one can get.

Combine that with the magnifying effect of the diffraction [*] and yeah, you get some interesting stuff there in your own personal field of vision.

Hope this helps, and thanks for your time! ^_^

Answer 3

I'm 53 and had developed eye floaters about 4 or 5 years ago. The doctors told me that they're harmless, but whoever has had them knows how annoying they are. They also said that I could have them "burned off" with laser surgery, but there was no way I was going to "burn" anything off my eyes! So I kind of accepted that my floaters were there to stay.

Then I came across this system, and seeing that you were offering a full money back guarantee, I figured I had nothing to lose well I was wrong - I did lose my floaters!! Oh my god I still can't believe my floaters are gone and my vision is as pristine as it was 5 years ago!

Getting rid of eye floaters without the high costs & dangers of laser treatments?

Answer 4

i'm fifty 3 and had stepped forward eye floaters approximately 4 or 5 years in the past. The docs informed me that they are innocuous, yet whoever has had them knows how annoying they're. additionally they suggested that i ought to have them "burned off" with laser surgical operation, yet there replaced into no way i replaced into going to "burn" something off my eyes! So I form of regularly occurring that my floaters have been there to stay. Then I discovered this methodology, and in view which you have been offering an entire money back assure, I figured I had no longer something to lose properly i replaced into incorrect - I did lose my floaters!! Oh my god I nevertheless won't be in a position to have self belief my floaters are long previous and my imaginative and prescient is as pristine because it replaced into 5 years in the past! doing away with eye floaters without the extreme expenses & disadvantages of laser remedies?

Answer 5

Nothing wrong with your eyes. Those floaters are actually large protein molecules in the aqueous humor ( the watery jello inside the eyeball) What makes them visible is the principle of diffraction. Light bends slightly around objects. If the protein is close enough to the retina, the diffracted light will make a pattern of light and dark areas in concentric outlines around the molecule. What you are seeing is the diffraction pattern around the molecule, not the molecule itself.

Answer 6

when you were a fetus you had an extra blood vessel in your eye, which was no longer needed as you developed, and so it simply degenerated. what you are seeing are remnants and cellular debris of this little blood vessel.
