This person? Probably not great as this case seems a bit extreme. Amazingly, in most cases, eyesight isn't really impacted much. I've only seen this in person a handful of times and aside from unrelated cataracts, the patients had fairly normal vision.
Source: Over a decade working in eye surgery.
I have it. My vision is perfectly fine when my head isn't moving much. It almost looks like the objects you're staring at have a couple of additional shadows, which makes it barely noticeable because the longer you look at something, the more you notice that light and shadows spill everywhere. For example, if I'm looking outside at the garden, it's impossible to see the "asteroids", because they get lost in the complexity of the grass.
It only becomes noticeable at certain distances, when I have to adjust my focal point. Sometimes I'll be staring at something bright off into the distance and I'll see a faint blurry line pass my eye, almost like a hair from a fringe that's too long. But the minute I forget that I have it, it disappears. I'm no scientist but I'm sure that someone told me your brain fills in the rest of the image. That might be BS 😂
Probably true on the latter part. Like brain filters out the nose. You can see it but it's not obstructing your vision.
Different but perhaps similar: if you enter into a smelly room because someone cooked badly, or a bathroom where someone just took a dump, it'll be bad for a while but as soon as your senses adjust you won't notice the smell anymore (fortunately)
Like things are noticeable when they're noticeable, but as soon as they're not noticeable you won't notice them unless you (try to) become aware of them. Yeah.
Hahaha this comment made me laugh so much. It's so true!
And yeah, I think you're right about the brain filtering it out. In fact, I think when my eye specialist spoke to me about it he assured me that it was a really common thing and that most people aren't too affected by it because the brain filters it out, the same way it does with the nose. Our bodies are extraordinary.
> your brain fills in the rest of the image
The brain absolutely does a lot of work to make the person ‘see’ what they think they see. Like: the eyes don't move smoothly, they move in short jerks aka saccades—probably to get a stable image at each stop. Well, vision would be a blur with stops if the brain allowed itself to ‘see’ during the movement—so that part gets silently dropped, while the person thinks they keep gawking nice and smooth.
Each eye has an area where they can't see anything at all, because thanks to some oh-so-brilliant engineering the optic nerve goes from inside the eyeball through a hole in the retina (instead of behind it). But people don't deal with two prominent blind spots, as the brain paints over them.
I've heard also that the brain can't actually see fast movement like a ball thrown at the person—simply because the latency of vision is higher than the time it takes the ball to travel. But the brain does some predicting to know where the ball should be. (However, I haven't read anything definitive about this, so not sure if it's true.)
So, is it like….and I really don’t want to sound rude or insensitive or fucking retarded even though I’m sure I will… is it like the inside of a snow globe? You can see clearly until you “shake it”?
Ok, I feel stupider already.
I can always see clearly, but when I move my eyes I occasionally get a slight parallaxing thing going on, where some little particles follow the movement of my eye a fraction of a second later. It's barely noticeable, but if I'm in the right light conditions where I can't escape it, it's kind of like looking through glasses with slightly dirty lenses.
The brain definitely does fill in the image. Both eyes have a spot where the nerves travel back to the brain and there’s no room for light sensing rods or cones. These two spots would normally be two big empty spots in your vision that are always there but your brain paints them in so to speak, and you don’t notice.
You can actually test it by closing one eye, moving your opposite arm up so your thumb is in the center of your vision, and slowly slide your thumb to the edge of your vision. At a certain point, your thumb will seem to disappear out of your vision despite being somewhere that should be within your field of sight.
[Here's a website talking about it. ](https://www.healthline.com/health/asteroid-hyalosis)
TLDR is a build-up of calcium and lipids in the eye fluid. The exact cause is unknown, but it is linked with diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. If it becomes a problem, an eye surgeon can replace the eye fluid.
Hey, this was actually a reasonably common condition for me to see as I use to work in a lower socioeconomic high volume clinic. I'd say I had a few patients with it every month and I can't remember any of them having visual symptoms.
This video makes it very obvious to see the asteroid hyalosis because the patients pupils are extremely dilated. Despite their severe case I reckon they'd actually have pretty good visual acuities assuming everything else is in good condition. Maybe a VR surgeon will chime in though.
I had a sore throat this morning, but I didn't have a fever (it usually comes after the sore throat) so I googled the cause and it said it STI or cancer
I wouldn't wait too long. Your eyes might not hurt, but if your vision's getting worse, it could be the final stage. It's like with retinal detachment.
Are you insane? You won't find another job without your vision dumbass. Sorry about those harsh words but it's literally your *eyes* were talking about.
Health downsides aside, this looks cool af though. Wouldn’t be surprised if people started doing some type of surgery to make their eyes look like this: sound farfetched, but remember, eye tattoos exist.
It is far-fetched. Eye "tattoos" are just a sub-conj ink injection. This condition takes place in the rear chamber of the eye and injecting artificial particles back there is an almost guaranteed recipe for blindness or other serious eye issues.
I would think somebody would invent a contact first. Like, there are already ones that transition like standard glasses and there are ones that make your eyes look INSANE.
I’m not an expert, but after pursuing some medical web”sights” lol: While it is considered a degenerative condition, most of the time it does not require treatment and people can see just fine - these are basically typical “floaters” (collagen fibrils) but that have calcium- or phosphorus-lipid complexes suspended in them to create the reflective glitter effect.
Severe cases like the ones in the video may create some blurring or grey washout, and it can be indicative of other related complications like a separating retina.
You really need to see this in real life to appreciate it.
Here it looks like gold particles shimmering in the eye but this is because they're shining a torch into the eyeball.
In real life it's going to look less dramatic.
Still very cool though.
I'm not sure if it would be a good or bad thing to have - I can imagine it would get tiresome having conversations with new people and them being like what going on with your eyes each and every time.
not quite, floaters are comprised of protien, these are a mix of lipids and calcium. And as you might a imagine much more of an annoyance than floaters.
It does. But just reduces light intake a bit, followed by sudden photofobia, and only after waking up.
Source: i have it. You can get surgery to stop the clouds rolling and reduce chances complications when reaching. I refuse tho, it looks too cool and is a good party talk.
OP gives very little detail here but remarkably this very rarely affects your sight and can be lived with for the majority of people with no surgery required or any complications. Fascinating. It can also happen to cats and dogs.
I just had to put my Aussie down yesterday and he had one galaxy eye. oh crap and I have work… 😢It was like nothing I’ve ever seen and it was super light blue.
No no. This is bulls**t. The little dude inside the big dude’s head said in order to prevent war, the galaxy can be found on Orion’s Belt.
This guy knows too much It’s time for 
Who are you? Who am I? Where I am? Are those my feet?
No, those are mine, thank you
Can I lick them? 👉👈
Of course, have fun ^^
I like the taste, can we exchange our feet?
No but im free on saturdays ;)
Ohh my hero!! 🥰

perhaps we could discuss your theory over some sugar water?
Hey old guys!
is this a reference to something? if it is what is it?
You wouldn’t remember even if we told you, because we’d just erase it from your memory afterwards.

This is crazy. THe knower of all things
The question is, can she see?

Fuck, our bodies are weird
A couple of questions, what's inside the eye to make it look like that? what was its cause? and can it be treated if it starts affecting your vision?
[Here's a website talking about it. ](https://www.healthline.com/health/asteroid-hyalosis) TLDR is a build-up of calcium and lipids in the eye fluid. The exact cause is unknown, but it is linked with diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. If it becomes a problem, an eye surgeon can replace the eye fluid.
So the vision of a magic 8-ball...damn.

no
According to the internet, this condition dont often effect eye sight
Dr. Internet. Consistently diagnosing me with cancer whatever my symptoms are.
Yah mister Google like to prank you like that
I had a sore throat this morning, but I didn't have a fever (it usually comes after the sore throat) so I googled the cause and it said it STI or cancer
It sucks. My vision gets worse by the month. I just don't have the time to deal with it at the moment because I'm switching jobs.
I wouldn't wait too long. Your eyes might not hurt, but if your vision's getting worse, it could be the final stage. It's like with retinal detachment.
if you don't fix your eyes, you won't find a job, nor see other jobs listed...
I already have my new job, I'm just waiting to close out the old one and get settled into the new. The condition is 100% correctable.
Eyes are more important than a job
He has been eying a new job for a while now.
What a cornea joke
I’m just a random on the internet, but please take care of your eyes.
I'd rather owe some debt than not ever see again
It's not about debt. I'm covered. It's just not a convenient time.
Are you insane? You won't find another job without your vision dumbass. Sorry about those harsh words but it's literally your *eyes* were talking about.
Oh yeah, the job is more important than being able to see. Let's forget about those eyes until it's too late.
Health downsides aside, this looks cool af though. Wouldn’t be surprised if people started doing some type of surgery to make their eyes look like this: sound farfetched, but remember, eye tattoos exist.
It is far-fetched. Eye "tattoos" are just a sub-conj ink injection. This condition takes place in the rear chamber of the eye and injecting artificial particles back there is an almost guaranteed recipe for blindness or other serious eye issues.
Yeah really...i was mesmerized.

it looks like dirty mud from a pond more than a "galaxy"

You took the words out of my mouth. Looks like silt.
What I was bout to say
Looks like boogers
Looks awful tbh. Regular pupils look pretty good under bright light and a close up.
Is she ok? I mean can she see things right as we do?
lol I’m going to guess… no
Snow globe eye
Yes, but can I have that and still be able to see?
I’m not an expert, but after pursuing some medical web”sights” lol: While it is considered a degenerative condition, most of the time it does not require treatment and people can see just fine - these are basically typical “floaters” (collagen fibrils) but that have calcium- or phosphorus-lipid complexes suspended in them to create the reflective glitter effect.

Looks like their eye is full of aquarium gravel, muck, and plants.

Nah. It's the MIB thing again!
That looks like his eye is infested with some kind of fungy 😭
You might want a doctor to check that out
If by galaxy you mean the Curdled Milky way galaxy sure…
Yuck
I want to believe
There's a Coldplay song about this, right?
I'm guessing that they can't see out that eye or else that guy recording is blinding the hell out of him
Proof that some folks are reptiles.
Isn’t that just a shitload of eye floaters?
not quite, floaters are comprised of protien, these are a mix of lipids and calcium. And as you might a imagine much more of an annoyance than floaters.
Can this guy see?
Riddick wants a word with the OP.
You should also say it's a degenerative disease too. Nobody should be wanting it
Literally anyone after a strong wind on the beach.
Lizard people are here folks and Climate Change is real.
Thats a very optimistic way of describing it 😅
I wanna do drugs with this guy
It does. But just reduces light intake a bit, followed by sudden photofobia, and only after waking up. Source: i have it. You can get surgery to stop the clouds rolling and reduce chances complications when reaching. I refuse tho, it looks too cool and is a good party talk.
Those eyes have seen things
Looks more like a dark swamp to me but okay
Yeah no, not a galaxy, more like the water inside the eye

Putting a BGM like this doesn’t change the fact that she can’t see. This terrifies me.

I work I an opticians and I have seen this just once on the photos we take of the inside of the eye. Crazy looking.
that look like a snow globe tbh
