Well see, when my eyes move, the things move. They seem to stay in the same spot on the eye.

Exactly...you should try staring at the blue sky, you see them every time. It's odd.

Yes that is the other thing I see, aside from the clear cell-like things. Those are the particles in wind I was referring to.

If you think floaters are cool you should investigate closed eye hallucination

Here is a wiki article that describes it to some degree:

Closed Eye Hallucination

If it interests anyone, I strongly advise you to pursue the mediative route to exploring it rather than the latter method.

Thanks for the link, evilod

I've been seeing floaters in my eyes when I look at a clear sky for as long as I can remember...I'm 40, and I have very mild prescription lenses I wear rarely (-0.5 in each eye) to improve distance vision

So I hope in my case, its not a sign of problems with my retinas given I've experienced them for 30+ yrs

Peace

You're seeing the blue field entoptic phenomenon. Basically, you're seeing the white blood cells moving through the vessels in your eyes. You can have floaters as well, the floaters will tend to be dark, slowly drifting spots or filaments, the white cells will look like little fast moving dots.

Here's a how-to.

yeah i see them too. I just stare at the sky or something, and i see these white, transparent type string things just falling and floating around. And when i close my eyes their gone, but if i just cleared my mind and just stare again i see them.

personally i just think its the sun or some scientific phenomena. But i am sure that this thing is very frequent.
