I get them, nothing to worry about, its just something that happens in your eyeball every so often. Don't worry about it. You have had your eyes checked so all is fine.

Get it all the time. It's nothing really. If i rub my eyes or glance too long at something bright it happens. Or it comes on completely randomly. I've actually come to enjoy it! It's my own personal lava lamp show!
