Why do I see shiny lines in vision?
Something that looks like heat waves shimmering in your peripheral vision? If you have, you may have been experiencing what is known as an ocular migraine. Ocular migraines occur when blood vessels spasm in the visual center of the brain (the occipital lobe) or the retina.
Why do we see things in our peripheral vision?
First, peripheral vision provides low-resolution cues to guide our eye movements so that our fovea visits all the interesting and crucial parts of our visual field. Our eyes don’t scan our environment randomly. They move so as to focus our fovea on important things, the most important ones (usually) first.
Does glaucoma affect peripheral vision?
Vision loss due to glaucoma has traditionally been described as loss of “peripheral vision”; that is, loss of vision at the outer edges.
What is a Schisis?
Schisis is derived from the Greek word meaning splitting, describing the splitting of the retinal layers from each other. However, schisis is a word fragment, and the term retinoschisis should be used, as should the term iridoschisis when describing splitting of the iris.

What does it mean when you see floating things in your vision?
Most commonly when we see small dark dots, or stringy things, moving around in our peripheral vision, and they move when we turn our eyes to try to see them in front of us, and there isn’t anything externally around us to see, we are seeing “floaters” or “vitreous floater
What does it mean when you see flashing lights in vision?
The sudden onset of flashing lights, a noticeable increase in the amount of floaters, a shadow in your peripheral vision, or a gray curtain moving across your field of vision could be signs of a detachment of the retina — the nerve layer in the back of the eye that sends images to the brain.
