You can also see the individual white blood cells flowing through the vessels your eyes this way. It’s actually really neat. It’s called the Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon.

Congratulations! You are getting older. They are called eye floaters and most people have them in some compacity. I notice them mostly when looking at the blue sky on a sunny day.

I’ve seen these since at least the time i developed long term memory as a small child.

if they’re only dots yours might be the blue field entoptic phenomenon which is different. they’re just blood cells flowing before your retina and it’s totally normal.

Nah, worms/proteins and all. Varies in density over long periods of time(3-6mo) between never noticing it and it being slightly annoying.
Wiki says it’s not uncommon even at young ages.
