Can you see bacteria on your?

This might seem wierd but sometimes like it seems like I might be able to see bacteria on my eyelid if I move them the right way. Like it looks like the clear outline of bacteria as I move my eyes. Maybe im crazy. Any answers?

Can you see bacteria on your?
bacteria is too small to be seen its microspohic
Reply:Ummm... that's very unlikely. You can't see bacteria unless you use a microscope but I dont suggest that. But one time I saw this program about someone who saw this clear wormy thing in his eyes and it turns out it was some kind of tropical parasite. If the outline in your eye is moving you might want to have that checked out. Hope I helped!!!!!!!!

Reply:not crazy,completely normal.these are bits of protein called "floaters." everyone has them.some people can see them from an early age,with others,it isnt seen till middle age,but eventually mosyt people will notice them,they are best seen in bright light.its just protein from the fluids in ur eye,not at all uncommon.and yes,they do look like bacteria,but they are not.how do i know?saw them at age 10,eye dr explained it to me.
Reply:What you're seeing are typically called "floaters".





Usually they are the remnants of the artery that used to supply blood to your eyeball during development. It's basically some left-over cellular tissue that floats around in your vitrious humor (eye-ball jelly). It can be some other cellular gunk, too.





Everyone has them. They become more common (or more noticable) as you get older.





Usually they drift out of your line of site after a time. They come and go. I see them easiest when looking at something like a bright blue sky.





If you suddenly see a bunch of floaters, see your doctor. Otherwise, just let them be. If they're really bothersome, sometimes a doctor can diminish them with laser treatment. If they're really bad, a doctor may replace your vitrious humor (eye-ball jelly). That's a pretty extreme treatment, though.
Reply:No, you're seeing things.
Reply:oh snap i see them too. but i wear glasses and then i realize its just a reflection of my eyelashes. You must be crazy i think. Or you got really really good vision.
Reply:Haha I used to be just like you and think I had superhuman vision! Then I overheard someone talking about "floaters" so yeah the people above me who said floaters are probably right.
