Medical Forum / General / Vision / June 2005what do you see if you close your eyes
I just posted a picture on my blog of what I see when I close my eyes... I believe they are called phosphenes but there are few actual pictures of the sight and mine is spot on with what I see just interested in seeing if people see the same? or if people see different things, please take a look and add a comment, or post here. the blog http://robwilliamsblog.blogspot.com/ the picture http://photos1.blogger.com/img/247/5515/640/eyesclosed.jpg Boy, you are one f.cked-up duck is all I can say. Get a life, please. chill mate... it's only a question chill mate... it's only a question, and a completely sincere one at that... Doesn't look like phosphenes, which are more localized and have a specific cause. What that pic shows looks more like background "noise". I think most people see something other than pure black with their eyes closed, and it is probably just random firing of axons along the visual pathway. Nothing to worry about. w.stacy, o.d. > I just posted a picture on my blog of what I see when I close my > eyes...

If a tumor, cyst or other growth was pressing on the visual cortex, a constant barrage of light stimulus might be seen in the dark. We can't rule out the idea of advising a CT scan and VER to see if there's abnormal physiology here. Hmmm. I'll have to give that one some thought.

I have for along, long time, seen channels of color - it looks like a long tube down which I travel, and the orbs of color change - starts small and come forward toward me (getting larger) and then disappears. Then the next color develops, and so on. I can make myself see this when I meditate or are on the brink of sleep - I started doing it for amusement when I was a young child and can still do it today. Initially, I think it was random firing of the axioms (?) but now I have some control over it. The weird thing is, now I have retina problem in one eye (idiopathic CNV). I don't know if it's associated...? -L. could you draw it L? I have a couple of people who are drawing me pictures of what they see and emailing them to me... I'm going to put up a few, side by side, to see what people see.... it's weird, but the image you see when you have your eyes closed is probably the thing you see most of in your life, every night and morning. yet we never seem to share it. untill today I assumed everyone saw the same!!! :) I'd love to see some pictures. > could you draw it L? Not really, it's moving. Imagine a train coming toward you in a tunnel of darkeness, but the light is colored - it gets larger and larger and eventually engulfs you/passes you. As it gets almost to you, another color light is taking its place - then another, and another. I also have the "shrinking light" vision the other poster mentioned. See my other reply. -L. If anyone else posts here, or comments on the blog, could they please tell me which country they're from I posted to a mainly uk group, and almost everyone agreed with what i see, yet the international groups seem to disagree... seems strange but it's almost like people from different countries see different things?!?! >I have for along, long time, seen channels of color - it looks like a >long tube down which I travel, and the orbs of color change - starts [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Initially, I think it was random firing of the axioms (?) but now I >have some control over it. I did somewhat the opposite - the circles got smaller. I'd describe it as starting with a random visual field, within which all the pure, uniform blue would gradually migrate closer and closer to the center, leaving a variegated rusty reddish color to fill the area outside the blue center. Eventually the blue center would get small enough or appear far enough away that it lost my attention, and the cycle would start over. I could usually control the speed of the cycles, and it was quite pleasurable to balance a pure blue center at a certain size for as long as possible. I still get the reddish color when I close my eyes, but I haven't thought about that wonderfully pure blue for many years. Loren > I did somewhat the opposite - the circles got smaller.

I think mine have gotten smaller (and larger), as well. I also see a lot of colors - blue, green, red, orange, yellow. It is so serene and pleasurable. -L. |
