What Causes Entoptic Phenomena In Eyes?

default
Posted on Tue, 13 Oct 2015
Question: One more question about my eyes..sometimes when I lean over to pick up something off the floor,when I stand back up I see a flood of little sparkles or stars...similar to little floaters. What is causing this?

The sparkles do not last long..long enough to float down.

Why does it only occur when I am bending over
