    Ive not had eyefloaters as depicted in this image, but I did manage to get gaslit by people for a long time, telling me I was hallucinating, until I found out that entoptic blue field phenomenon is a thing.

    I was the only person in my friends/family circle who was autistic enough to notice and attempt to describe it.

      That kind of looks like visual snow, which I tried for years to get my eye doctors believe even existed. I know all too well that feeling of being gaslit by assembly line eye doctors just trying to churn out office visits as quickly as possible.

      Thank you for this. I notice that also sometimes. I thought I just had some mild neurological condition that might be related to high blood pressure.
