I get this all the time, it is always visible when looking at bright background such as sky, white wall etc. Pictures stay in my vision then fade e.g when watching telly reading something etc. I completely understand how scary it is but I haven't got to the bottom of it yet. I have had my eyes tested, dilated etc all fine. They said there is no reason why I should be seeing so many floaters at my young age as they normally occur as we get older.

Hello John 

You have had this so many times it has never amounted to anything sinister so that sensible part of you what does it say , I hope it will say this is your anxiety 

Please don't think I am been rude as I hope we are friends but you have not been drinking or smoking have you because that always seemed to make matters worse 

John I do not believe that there is anything sinister and I am not a Doctor but they have told you there is nothing wrong but I so wish you would get some help with your anxiety because I really believe that is the only way you are going to be able to move on and I would so like that for you :-)

Take Care x

Hi John!!

I hope me writing to you makes you feel better. I also see blue dots and have for 9 months now. I have and do see yellow Also but depends what background I am looking at. Also have a lot of eye floaters which are harmless so please do not worry about floaters. 

So with the blue dots and yellowish colour I still do not know why this happens. I have had my eyes checked numerous times by a opthamologist and everything is perfectly fine. The doctor suggested I do a Visual Electrophysiology test which took almost 3 hours 😳, my worst nightmare coming true haha. I have also had an MRI. So I have just accepted it now and put it down to my Anxiety. I am starting CBT next week hopefully to help with my thought patterns and to help my anxiety. I have read a lot that people with Anxiety see these blue dots and other visual disturbances. I also forgot to mention I also see those bright squiggly lines. They are your white blood cells in your eye and nothing to worry about, most people can see them when looking at the sky or a bright background. I do hope your anxiety gets better and you can control it, your eyes will get better because you won't be worrying about them so much. But I honestly understand when sometimes you feel ok and then you see something like this blue dot and the worry comes back, I get it. When it happens try to ignore and renew its your anxiety, don't let it WIN!!
