its not blood pressure or anything within my eyes, as I can follow them, anything floating in the eye is very hard to follow as it moves in the same direction as the eye itself. My blood pressure is fine. but to do 20 push-ups and then stand up rapidly wont make you see stars it will make you black out. I appologise for bringing this question to this site, but I felt for sure that a science forum would have perhaps a scientific reason for this rather than assume a medical one.

my interpretation of "The" is that it gives the following word more importance in the sentence, hmmmm such as in a question about a famous person, its not uncommon for the questioner to say "The Brad Pitt?" meaning that this person is maybe of more importance than any other person named Brad Pitt. But yes "the" English use it possibly more often then other english speaking people

thanks peeps, but I dont think floaters are what I see, I have a floater in my left eye, caused by lol trying to makes my eyes point in opposite directions at the same time, hehehe my theory being that if I can go bosseyed then why cant I make them go the other way, I felt a slight rip in the eye and bingo there I had large as life what appeared to be a worm floating around (made up of tiny roundish/hexagonald clear cells with a tiny black spot in the centre of each one) it took quite a while for my brain to stop seeing this. The lights that I refered to before arnt like this floater, and are infact something I have seen since I was a little girl, so breakdown of cells in the lining of the eye I dont think applies. I just wondered if I was seeing some kind of insect that people just dont normally see, I think they are tiny pin points but leave a tiny streak of lights behind them as they move, much like a laser light when stared at too long will leave you with the impression of it still being there, does any of that make sence?

Hi there Just wanting to know what the tiny lights are that I see during daylight hours, not looking up at the sun or anything, but they zoom around right before my eyes without interfering with my vision. If I allow my gaze to become unfocused they appear more brilliantly and are really quite pretty. I am not a science person so layman terms would be great Thanks in advance
