Experiencing visual phenomena such as visual snow or seeing little dots when looking at the sky can be relatively common and may not necessarily indicate a serious underlying condition. Visual snow refers to a condition where a person sees tiny flickering dots or static-like patterns in their field of vision. It can be more noticeable in low-light environments, such as a dark room, due to the increased contrast.
Similarly, seeing tiny dots or floaters when looking at the sky, particularly against a bright background, is also a common occurrence. Floaters are small specks or threads that appear to float in your field of vision. They are typically caused by small clumps of gel-like substance in the vitreous, the jelly-like fluid inside the eye.
In most cases, these visual phenomena are benign and do not require treatment. However, if you have concerns about your vision or if these symptoms are accompanied by other visual disturbances or changes, it is advisable to consult an eye care professional for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a more accurate diagnosis and offer appropriate guidance based on your specific situation.
