Why do I see colored spots when I close my eyes?
Some light does go through your closed eyelids. So you might see a dark reddish colour because the lids have lots of blood vessels in them and this is the light taking on the colour of the blood it passes through. But often we see different colours and patterns when we close our eyes in the dark.
Why do I keep seeing purple spots?
They are usually age-related, occurring between the ages of 50 and 75. Floaters are caused when the vitreous, the gel-like substance that makes up most of the eye, becomes more liquid, stringy and clumps together. These strings or clumps float around in the vitreous and cast a small shadow on the retina.
How come when I close my eyes I see blue?
These small lights are usually phosphenes, a visual phenomenon caused by mechanical stimuli resulting in pressure or tension on the eye when the eyelids are closed.
Why do I see colored dots in the dark?
This is from the electromagnetic static fields in you, bioelectricity, and how your mind is still active, though the visual stimuli is negligible. The floating dots are just results of looking at lights. When you go into a dark room the ghost of the lights is still there and therefore you see tiny colored dots.
Why do I keep seeing a blue dot?
Looking up at the sky can cause you to experience blue field entopic phenomenon, which is an ordinary occurrence. The blood flow in your eye can absorb the blue light from the sky, causing the appearance of a moving white light. These strange spots should disappear quickly, leaving you with your normal vision.
What causes purple vision?
When light levels are low enough for both rods and cone cells to be active (mesopic vision) the enhanced rod activity induces the bluish visual tint.
What does it mean when you see colorful dots?
Streaks or specks of light in your vision are described as flashes. They can happen when you bang your head or get hit in the eye. They can also appear in your vision because your retina is being pulled by the gel in your eyeball. Flashes should be taken seriously if you’re seeing them frequently.
Why do I see tiny colorful dots?
Eye floaters (known as floaters) are tiny specks that can be seen in your field of vision – especially when you look at a light-coloured area (such as a blue sky or white wall). They are created when tiny clumps form in the clear, jelly-like substance (the vitreous humour) inside the eyeball.
