I have times when I see , what I call FLOATERS or FLOATIES . They are usually round colors and transparent shapes and the float across my vision
( open or closed eyes ) .

I've had what I would describe as flickering stars, but I wouldn't say it's a constant issue. It's more a rear event that happens every so often.

I have had auras when I saw a flashing purple light. I don't remember if my eyes were open or closed. It could be a side effect from a drug. stay positive and well.
