Bro is a CRT
I personally don’t see it as intensively
I see a little “DVD” logo zipping around that changes colour when it bounces off the periphery of my vision.
I think it’s called visual snow, and it’s normal.
Seconding this. It’s not incredibly common but it’s not incredibly uncommon. Research shows that most people who have it don’t notice it until it’s pointed out. Drugs and stress tend to exacerbate the effect as well.
Better than seeing weird letters and 80 style colored geometric shape sliding around.
I only get patterns (usually floral-ish) if I press my eyes a little. You guys are getting them for free?!
Here’s an artist’s impression of what that might look like.
probably caused by some small amount of light getting through your eyelids , or random noise in your nerves
That’s what they tell you to think. Hmmmm.
could also be cosmic background radiation exciting the rods and cones inside your eyes
or maybe it’s black body radiation coming from your own cells inside your eyes
I see patterns and colors. Almost like a screensaver.
You have too much gain.
But yeah it’s normal.
I always assumed everyone saw it. I’m not special after all.
Though mine is gray, definitely not purple.
i had it intensely when i also developed other neurological issues like peripheral neuropaty, and palinopsia(afterimage)although symptom was temporary. now its more of a background if i concentrate hard enough i see snow. i had also had pretty bad RLS for several weeks.
I can make static if I squeeze my eyes very tightly, sometimes spots. No one i asked when I was little had the same results. Haven’t thought about it in a long time.
Yes
is it like swimming lights.

Yes. It’s called “Eigengrau” and it happens due to the adaptation of the eye amidst the darkness.
This is what the night sky starts to look like when I try to look at stars
The indistinguishability of dark events from photon responses supports this explanation because rhodopsin is at the input of the transduction chain. On the other hand, processes such as the spontaneous release of neurotransmitters cannot be completely ruled out.
So it’s like when a camera doesn’t have enough light to properly take a photo, producing a lot of grain. Like when you have a high ISO when taking a photo/video in a dark room, it looks very grainy. I guess the eye is still adjusting its “exposure” if you see some of this graininess in the dark (or when you close your eyes?)
the brain is always trying to find pattern in incomplete data. one of the explanations i have seen is that when our ancestors were sitting around the fire, those who saw the tiger or something lurking in the dark had better chance to pass their genes than those who didn’t.
it is why we are seeing patterns in clouds and random geometrical shapes on walls and stuff like that.
how did you take this photo? Small camera through your ear?
They just closed their eyes and then pressed in their ear and anus to take a screenshot.
Wow that’s so much easier! I’ve always had to pee and fart at the same time
Idk what piss poor model you guys are, but for me is sneeze & fart, much easier imo.
“Peeing without a fart is like having sex without an orgasm.”
Said no one goto the doctor
I see pulsing waves of color, even in pitch black rooms. When I was little they were bright as fireworks, now, depending on the night they’re either just vaguely waves of purple, grey, and blue or sometimes electric blue and white.
I was recently reading about this because I discovered there’s a name for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner’s_cinema
Why did I know it was a NileRed video from the tiny thumbnail? 🤔
Oh yeah, those things, I get them too sometimes. I always thought they looked like one of those super old Mac screensavers. (I can’t find a picture, but maybe someone here knows the one I mean.)
If you see this when your eyes are open then it may be visual snow.

What if you can at-will toggle the perception?
I have this… I just thought this was normal vision. I hate my eyes 😔
So did we all, friend. You’re one of the tv static people now. Welcome
I have it. I’m used to it. It’s not as if I can do something about it.
I have this in my right eye without break but also no migraines
This is a normal closed eye hallucination level 1 on this Wikipedia page
Oh shit that’s why I can like make shapes and shit when I’m like in deep relaxation
Ever try one of those float tanks? They’re really good for that.
