Visual snow -Please let me turn the television off already- - General

I see all three of those motherfuckers

[QUOTE=Neb;20465604]So on rare occasions do people see small bright white orbs in your vision probably about the size of a plastic BB on comparison to the size of your vision? I really want to know if it's not just me.[/QUOTE] Holy shit I had this happen to me once. I got up really quick then walked downstairs, all of a sudden it was like fireworks and I was a little blind from it. Came and went. Also I thought everyone saw the static. I'm sad now.

I get floaters very rarely and sometimes stars after standing up.

[QUOTE=wootmonster;20464469]Whenever I look closely, I can see those Floaters.[/QUOTE] Yeh, especially when looking at the sky.

All of the things happen to me, but its not to bad. The floaters are annoying at school because I can't see my work, the visual snow is pretty annoying, and the sound that never ends isn't nearly as bad as in the video.

[QUOTE=kellybear;20466236]I used to be convinced I was seeing bacteria somehow magnified against my pupil. The thought was so awesome.[/QUOTE] Same here, I thought it was an excellent theory. Same with visual snow being some kind of bugs that were really really tiny, barely visible.

I see floaters quite a bit.

Oh wow, I used to think this "tinnitus" was the low in volume, but high wavelengths of noise emitting from the electronics in my room.

[QUOTE=Frisk;20466244]I have all of these, but the tinnitus isn't really too loud.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I only hear mine when it's dead silent.

Fuck... I thought I was alone. :ohdear:

whoawhoawhoa hold the phone here i thought that the visual static was normalish or at least a figment of my imagination. it's a well known medical condition? that's absolutely what i have and it's hardly mild

I've had floaters, and in the dark, my vision is terrible as shit, almost to the point of where im pretty much blind. I also see fuzz (snow) when looking into the dark

i see the fuzz 24/7 and get floaters whenever it's not dark. and it's a lot of floaters.

I have tinnitus. I don't have it bad though, when it's really quiet, like at night or if no one is talking I hear a high pitched whining. [editline]01:39AM[/editline] I get floaters sometimes. Like if I stare into a light or stare at something and then look away.

everyone hears ringing when it's quiet at night

[QUOTE=Cheesemonkey;20467564]everyone hears ringing when it's quiet at night[/QUOTE] Oh, then great, I'm not insane/have tinnitus.

Oh dear god until reading this thread I thought I was the only person in the world who had floaters and that they were parasites. Thank you OP you have changed my life.

-Visual Snow -Short Sighted -Double Vision -Floaters -Tinnitus My head is pretty fucking fucked up.

I have this, then. At night or in dark rooms when I stare, I see the static. [editline]11:45PM[/editline] And floaters :ohdear:

Static is completely normal, the human eye works much like a digital camera. Just like in a camera, the photosensitive cells in your eyes can't measure the amount of light perfectly, that's why noise appears. Actually, when you think in camera terms, the eye can control the aperture value (size of the pupil), focus and the ISO value :v: , but the exposure time is pretty much fixed, i think. The human brain is extremely good at image processing, so most of the time you don't see any noise. But when it gets too dark, the only way to make the image bright enough is postprocessing in brain (same as bumping up the iso), so the noise becomes more visible.

i don't get it from the dark, but if i look up on a fairly bright day, i see shit loads of like firework type static flying around, popping and dissapearing.

I have floaters. I always think there's a fucking moth around me.

i get the grain effect in the dark, it actually helps me see a bit as some parts light up, i also get floaters but they're so small they look like dots, they leave small trails when i move my eye though

I see all of those, and grinning skulls when I close my eyes. Is this normal?

I see visual snow no matter how dark or light it is, as a child I thought I was seeing tiny microbes moving around or some shit but then I came to the conclusion that it was just how everyone's eyes worked that created this effect, I never asked anyone however in case they thought I was nuts. This is the first time I've seen it mentioned at all, until now I wasn't entirely sure anyone else experienced it, I'm shocked that it's a documented thing. It really sucks because even when you close your eyes, you can see the static, it can be quite annoying. Some times I manage to ignore it, forget it's there so to speak, but most of the time it's hard to escape. I wonder what the hell the cause of this is, and whether there's a "cure."

[QUOTE=PelPix123;20464997]I see noise in the pitch black and very dark. It's a product of long exposure times or a wide-open lens. You can see it on any camera. Eyes work the same way as a camera, so you could probably guess that eyes have the same problems. The brain filters most of it out, just like how it flips the image upside-down. Sometimes the brain cannot filter it out, so you see it. [IMG]http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/compacts/a550/images/IMG_0112-pinnacles-night.jpg[/IMG] This is what I see in only the darkest of situations. The pattern changes as my brain captures successive frames[/QUOTE] This is pretty much exactly what I see as soon as it turns dark. I thought everyone saw it like that... D:

FUCKING FLOATERS :argh:

the stactic on telivision is echo from the big bang.:science: [editline]11:13AM[/editline] i think

I don't get static but I get floaters. Glad I have a term for them things now.

That static on the TV just just the aftermath of the big bang, which is being picked up through the aerial.
