    What are those squiggly things that look alarmingly like sperm that can be occasionally seen in your near vision and appear to move when you chase them with your focus? You know, where they seem to fall to bottom of your eye and disappear?

    I've always wondered, especially on sunny days when they are more visible and 'catchable', what these things are. Are they bacteria on the surface of your eyeball?

    They are called floaters

    Basically a range of various dead things that are in your eye ball, mostly things that used to be part OF your eye.

    If it out of vision, it's probably just dust particles and tiny hairs on the surface of your eye.
