So I took my room mate to the hospital last night due to a severe allergic reaction. She is fine now. But as I was squatting next to her bed , comforting her, a nurse or doctor walked by and in my left eye I see these weird lines and lights pass by as if it were following the doctor. I did not feel light headed nor dizzy, I exclaimed that I saw something and I stood up, and again I felt no lightheaded nor dizzy feelings.
I didn't know what to think for several moments, but I tried to reproduce the effect by squatting again until i could not squat any longer. But I did not see the effect again. I did notice there was an electrical outlet near the lines though. Maybe that had something to do with it? Maybe not.

That was Buck Peterson, he died there a few weeks ago. He had a thing for Gary, the doctor.

The Matrix was photoshopped while your subconscious was partially aware of it.

Drink more water, get more exercise.

Bloodpressure can mess with eyes. Low for moving too fast, light headed, but high can too. Stress? Trick of light, Coat, etc. or fae.

Fae type tales and supernatural come from stuff like that. ex: Sleep paralysis demons vs muscles asleep with brain awake.

Reddit has a legendary post of someone asking glitchinthematrix about a missing closet but ended up with a brain tumor found.

I would go see an opthalmologist.

Could be something about LED lighting... I am sensitive enough to see some LEDs flickering (yes, many flicker, especially ones used for indoor lighting) and I see it more often if its reflecting off of something rather than looking at it directly. It gets more weird when you also have a weird type of macular degeneration/affect (see: https://www.naturaleyecare.com/eye-conditions/macular-degeneration/mac-amsler-test.asp ). Both together could result in strange things.

That's because the peripheral vision in your eye uses rod cells that are more sensitive to movement than the cones in your central vision.

Is that why you can see stars out of the corner of your eye but when you focus on one it’s impossible to see it clearly?
sneakypoo
Yes, the cones in the center of your vision are geared towards detail, colours and sharpness, but they're less sensitive to light. So if the stars are very dim you'll have more trouble seeing them head on so to speak.

It could also be the phenomena where if you keep your eyes completely still, details starts to go away and if you are able to keep it up long enough you almost get tunnel vision. But I don't remember what that is called.
HillOfBeans
I don’t know what it’s called either.
