I have a lot of questions in life. Do you have any? There’s quite a few experts on this board. Maybe we can help each other. 

 

Can an someone explain what all those little pieces of lint are on the inside of my eyeballs when I close my eyes and look up into the sun? I’m a pretty clean person and shower every day. But when I look up in the sky and close my eyelids, there’s a bunch of lint and debris inside my eye sockets that floats around. I try to keep it in one place but it quickly zig zags across my field of vision. It’s maddening. Why do I have lint in my eyeballs?

In the pledge of allegiance who exactly is Richard Stands?  

Pretty sure he was the guy who rode with Paul Revere but stopped at the tavern for a quick one. He never finished the journey with PR but is considered one of our founding fathers.

My Latino friend was so happy at the beginning of the baseball game when everyone stood up and asked 

 

Jose can you see 

 

 

The real reason you are treated to this fuzzy display behind closed lids has to do with phosphenes!

 

Phosphenes are the moving visual sensations of stars and patterns we see when we close our eyes. They are thought to be caused by the inherent electrical charges the retina produces even when it is in its “resting state” and not taking in a ton of information and light like it does when our eyes are open.

No, Mr. Feliciano cannot see.  He has been blind since birth.

This happened to me during the 3rd quarter of the last Bills/Packers game in Lambeau.  I remember I made a pizza with cheese curds and fried walleye that day.  It was 59 degrees and the wind was coming from the east at 7.2 MPH.

Sorry, can’t help with the lint thing.  But this always has puzzled me:

 

Say you’re driving along at the speed of light, and you turn your headlights on...what happens?

You've come to the right place.

 

Eye Floaters:

 

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/eye-floaters/symptoms-causes/syc-20372346

 

"Eye floaters are spots in your vision. They may look to you like black or gray specks, strings, or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes and appear to dart away when you try to look at them directly.

Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. Microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump and can cast tiny shadows on your retina. The shadows you see are called floaters..."

 

"...If you notice a sudden increase in eye floaters, contact an eye specialist immediately — especially if you also see light flashes or lose your peripheral vision. These can be symptoms of an emergency that requires prompt attention..."
