Q: Seeing colors that aren't there ?
asked by: firelightglow on July 1st, 2009

Lately I've noticed that sometimes when I'm looking at something, nothing in particular, that I see splotches of faded color. Sometimes the colors are yellow and sometimes they are green. I could be looking at anything when I noticed it, and when I look away the colors are still there. This does not accompany a headache or any other physical problem I'm aware of, I don't have a medical history of any problems. I just find it strange that this occurs sometimes and randomly over the years. The colors are splotchy, wide spread or at times smaller and faded. I just wondered if anyone could shed some light on this, or have you experienced the same thing? It's just a very odd thing. Thanks for your time if you've read this.

The splotches you see are probably eye floaters, or different shapes like specks, strands, webs or other, moving through your vision field.
They are more prominent when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or blue sky.
Usually, they are nothing to worry about, and appear as a normal part of aging process.
Sometimes, their presence can indicate more serious condition as retinal detachment.
