When I look around I see these strange dots and lines floating around and they move when I move my eyes. What are they? Is it dangerous or normal?

Floaters are actually cellular debris within the vitreous, the jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of the eye. They may be seen as strings, streaks, clouds, bugs, dots, dust, or spider webs. These objects appear to be in front of the eye, but they are really floating in this fluid, and at the same time, casting their shadows on the retina, the light sensing inner layer of the eye. Floaters are also often noticed in people who are nearsighted (myopic), and those who have been operated on for cataract or Yag laser surgery.
Floaters could interfere with reading, and can be quite bothersome. Even though there is no treatment or cure, they may slowly fade out over time. One possible remedy is to move the eyes up and down when a floater appears. The vitreous fluid may shift, thus permitting the floater to move out of the line of vision.For the most part, floaters are usually nothing to worry about, being simply a result of the normal aging development

They are called eye floaters, It's very normal to people, especially elder,
Let try Bilberry,
Bilberry can be eaten fresh or added as an ingredient in jams or juices. These have a high level of anti-oxidants that strengthen the retinal tissue and prevent eye floaters. The blue pigment anthocyanin presents in bilberry help in the vision enhancement function.

Theyre floaters- dead cells that are floating about in your eye. I have quite a few of them too. It's quite normal. Nothing too serious though if there are a lot of them to the point where you can REALLY notice them everytime-

yes they are called floaters, seeing a couple is completely fine, but if you see a "shower" of floaters you need to see a doctor immediatly. They are simply pieces of the back of your eye like the gel that has come off and are floating around, but seeing a lot could mean your retina has detatched (trust me it happened to me)

Do not worry about it. I've the same thing in my eyes and went to a specialist. He told me that the dots are little fragments of pigmentation that loosen up and stay for a while in your eyes.
It is normal, although it was scary at first!

Could be a problem for sure, I would recommend you see your eye doctor. Floaters are not normal.

They are called floaters and I have them too. It's annoying but most of the time is not a problem. If you notice suddenly a lot of them you might get it checked out because you might have a detached retina but that is rare.

I will take a guess that you are near sighted.
Most near sighted people have this, they are just little shadows in your vitreous humour (the liquid inside your eye ball) and YES it is normal.
Annoying but normal.
I have had them as long as I can remember.
