First time posting on the forum.
Last night I was looking at my girlfriend's eyes. Specifically, at the little flashes of light that her eye was reflecting. She was indirectly looking at the ceiling light, so she had a quite strong circular and tiny flash on the left of her eye.
The thing is that, while focusing in this flash and with one of my eyes closed, I was getting closer and closer to it, to the point that I was barely touching her nose with my own face. Once I was near enough to see this light clearly, I noticed that inside this light, there were little black dots moving.
It truly felt like I was looking through a microscope. I felt like I was looking at the very tiny things that she had on her eyes. There were black little dots in a white area. I wouldn't say that I was looking on a cellular level, but I am certain that the things that I was looking at couldn't be seen at plain sight.
Now, points I need to clarify. No, I am certain that I wasn't looking at my own vitreous floaters (The so-called “bugs” of the eyes). If she moved her eye, this scope would also move, while changing the things that I was looking at. No, with black dots I don't mean those that appear while looking directly to the light or anything like that. These were different. I truly felt like I was looking at a microscope.
Thinking that I was crazy, I told my girlfriend to do the same with me. So I looked indirectly to the ceiling light, she focused on one of the flashes that my eye was reflecting, and she freaked out.
She also felt like she was looking through a microscope.
SO, guys, I need you to do two things:
One is to try it yourself with someone you know. As said, you have to be very very close, nearly touching the other person's face to see it, so that you have a clean sight of this light. You know, the same way you do it when you have to look through a microscope.
Two, I need answers. Can we truly see deeper without using a microscope? Am I seen something that is normal to be seen?
If you guys have more questions, I will be down in the comments.
Thank you!!

Just checking: Were you imbibing any substances at the time?

Neither at the moment nor writing the last post. I was skeptical about what I saw until my girlfriend also described seeing the same thing. The reason could be easier than the one that I am pointing out. But the only thing I can tell you to believe me is to try it out yourself.

Hello Pablo9258!
🙏
Greetings & Welcome to TNS.
🙂
Most certainly you are Not referring to Eye Floaters.
🤔
Hmm...moving black spots...hope both your eyes aren't paining or anything.
🤞
You both could consider a general checkup by an Opthalmologist.
P.S. - Is there a Ceiling Fan involved in this?
& Was by any chance the Fan moving?
Is it Black in colour?
🤔

Hello there!
So... No, no painting at all. And, no, no ceiling fan or anything like that. But interesting questions never the less.
Now, involving the "black dots"... They had a faint color black. By this, I want to say that they weren't perfect circular dots, with a strong black color. I must reaffirm what I said before, I am certain that those dots felt very "cellular"
The word dot was very vague from my part. Because by no means I meant "holes" or anything like that. They felt like they had mass. They even felt like they had volume.
Now, even though I don't truly understand what may be going around here, I had being trying it more times. So, for those who want to try this,(because as mentioned is quite easy and also fascinating), I recommend you to use a bright light as the only source of light. No natural light, no windows open. The less "atmospheric" light there is in the room, the bigger and shinier the reflection of the flash in the eye. The bigger the reflection, the easier to see through. (I think I am not saying anything weird this time)
On my part, I think I reached a non-so-crazy hypothesis. Let's review the "facts" that I am taking as valid:
• I see something amplified
• If the lens moves (if my girlfriend moves her eyes), the background does the same
• What I saw had mass, meaning that couldn't be a stain from my eye, or any eye damage related
I think that by looking at a tiny flash of the eye, I am processing its light, and just this light, that comes from a tiny part. And it is amplified as I am looking at an eye. A biological lens of its own.
Finally, I would like to say that I am going to be trying this with some friends, so expect some news from me.
I think that I may answer your questions, Zer0, but if you have more, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for Responding Pablo.
😁
No, I don't have anymore questions.
👍
Infact, imma gonna go & seriously investigate this phenomenon out.
Hope We All can find some satisfactory resolve for this phenomenon.
🤞
P.S. - i can see from your Profile that You are a New User.
You know there is another sub-section called ' Cells & Microbes & Viruses '
Maybe someone out there could have attempted to answer this head on.
👍
No Worries, if the MODS think it's Right, they shall move your OP to that sub-section.
👍
Do Not bother to create a similar/duplicate OP there...Relax!
& Yes, once again, Welcome!

I've noticed that tiny particles floating inside the eye, which normally aren't perceived, become quite prominent when waking up in the morning, after a heavy night.
The particles look grey and shadowy, but elongated and big - as if they'd been magnified by a microscope. Also, thin veins in the eye, presumably in the retina, show up in the field of vision when blinking rapidly. They create a network of short crooked black lines. Resembling a distorted spider's web.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it something to worry about?

Those are called eye floaters and I experience them myself: https://www.webmd.com/eye-health/benign-eye-floaters
It's rare that they are indicative of a problem.

Thanks Kryptid for the link you provided. After studying it I feel easier in mind, as the "floaters" were worrying me.
Greatly appreciate your post, thanks again!
-
Zoom they cannot but some sort of increased detail fixation. This would be the looking deeper or more closely, I do not know whether it's memory or brain allocation to one part of the retina sort of tunnel vision.
-
I was thinking much the same as Kryptid, with one difference. I'm not sure it was hers you saw. Maybe it was your own superimposed, more or less, on her eyes. If you get down in the tub, under water, with your eyes open I think you should be able to notice them too. I never tested if you could see someone else's though. Maybe it's possible.
eh, watertubh I mean.
Damn, bathtub.... Syntax sux (why can't you speak Swedish?)

I believe that what you are seeing is the reflected image of the room that you are in and it will take on a fish eye appearance as you are vewing of a outward curved reflective surface being the eye.
