I am 26 years old and since I was a child when I look at the bright sky after a few minutes it looks like there is 2-3 clear,circular objects and they seem to be "pulsating"

I also from time to time get ocular migraines. I have been to the eye dr. and they dilated my eyes and did a thorough exam and said everything looks fine.

Anyone know what the clear,circular objects might be?
Thanks

I get little circles in my field of vision all the time, but mostly when I am driving on sunny days. They just kinda float around and there are usually just a couple. I also suffer from FREQUENT migraines (that is my hope anyways) and anxiety/hypochondriac. I am sure there is nothing to worry about, seems as the eye doctor didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Good luck, :)

Hi, I never experienced the clear circular objects. Floaters are small dark shapes that appear before your eyes, because floating through your field of vision is precisely what they do. They are clumps of protein. They may look like dots, squiggles, strands or any of a hundred other shapes, even little snats swarming.

Try looking at something dark for a few seconds when it happens.

Hope this helps.

I do and it instantly goes away.. Soon as I look at the sky its right back. There very hard to describe, its more like what skittles said...swirling..and its only when I focus on it
