from time to time, a light will float from 3 oclock to 6 oclock in my right eye, or from 12 to 3. less often the same things happen in my right eye from 12 to 9 and 9 to 6. Also, i sometimes see hundreds of tiny dots floating around in bright spaces. has anyone else had similar experiences? am i crazy?

i've had floaters for years now. they're tiny grayish dots that just float around wherever you look. i assume you're talking about those. they're not really a cause for concern, so my eye doctor says. however he told me if you do start seeing flashes of light that is something to get checked out. it could be serious in the future. just don't let it get worse..see your eye doctor.

It sounds like an aura that comes on before a migraine. I get them too with the tiny flashing lights and the loss of my peripheral vision. I then know it's time to take a Tylenol. You should see your doctor.

This is probably floaters and are common in the eyes.
The tiny flashing usually takes place when people are tired and yawning so probably decreased oxygen.
You have not provided enough information for anyone to diagnose a mental disorder and only a judge can determine insanity (it's a legal not a mental health concept).
What you have described above sounds like a common medical (eye) condition and I highly suggest seeing your doctor or an ophthalmologist.

The little dots, like fireflies right? Ive seen that. Low blood preassure due to thyroxin deficiency. Get some bloodwork done.... if its too low, just a little pill in the morning.

Symptoms like light floaters are seen with ocular migraine,blood pressure fluctuations,retinal detachments-if this symptom is new you should see immediately a eye specialist.

Why take a chance? Get it checked out. It's likely your doctor will know exactly what it is or at least how to find out what it is or may be.

you might want to talk to a doctor about this. From your description I would say this is definitly a medical problem. I am not a doctor, but this could be diabetes, or cataracts or something.

If it's what I have it's called "floaters" and it's not harmful. Just check with your dr.
