    Thats not true, they float around and your eye movement can kind of influence their direction.

    They are actually blood cells or proteins floating around in the liquid inside your eyeball. There was this one building where I regularly went to for about a year and they had walls in a white color so bright that I saw these every single time.

      I think that qualifies as the first category I mentioned: small debris on the eye getting blurred and magnified.

        Well ok but it’s not on your eye, it’s inside. Also, not sure if I would categorize blood cells as debris and they are not blurry… but nevermind, we both know what you’re talking about.
