Migraine aura
Are migraine auras also considered phosphenes? e.g., the classic scintillating scotoma…? —mjb 16:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
What is "a crumpling fly-spotted flyscreen"? Not really a good metaphor since it's not universally understood. User: petruchi41 15:07 EST 16 April 2007
Danger of pressing eyeballs
Shouldnt the danger of damage to retina etc from pressing eyeballs be pointed out? Detached retinas are a serious medical condition.
- I agree, especially in regards to what I mentioned below about seeing glitter. Sometimes pressing your eyes to see stars or glitter floating around in them, can be addictive. More so I imagine, to small children. Violet yoshi (talk) 07:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Seeing glitter
Does this also have to do with seeing what looks like different colored glitter when you rub your eyes or press on them? I guess that might be a form of what people call seeing stars. Violet yoshi (talk) 07:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Page image
The example image image:Phosphene_artistic_depiction.gif seems to be completely inaccurate (based on what i've seen and the description), and is more suitable for the page on Form_constants. 68.18.66.216 (talk) 07:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
