Floaters are one thing, but what about the internal electric / static activity you can see, what is that called? I was always way more intrigued by that than some eyeball sludge.

Do you see a reflection of neural activity or something? Just like floaters they're only visible when looking at larger plain things with 1 colour. They seem projected, and less obvious than the floaters but more common in your whole view.

Cheers from me also, always wondered what this was.

Visual snow. I have it too. Really sucks when I want to look at the stars.

I had cataracts done, have tons of floaters. Also makes it almost impossible to follow a golf ball in flight. I used to play, but got fed up not having a clue where I had hit the damned ball.

Do you get diagnosed for that? I am pretty sure I have that. I will talk about it to my optometrist the next visit. I thought that was my vision degrading as I aged, but the intensity of it varies with fatigue, stress and migraines.
