I don't have really good eyes, got glasses when I was like in 4th grade.

Anyway I was getting my hair cut and I was squinting my eyes, and I see like little lines moving. Actually, this is a story back in middle school, we were using microscopes and I was squinting my eyes looking for whatever we were looking for, and I see lines moving and I thought they were bacteria and I call my friend over and he didnt see anything. Anybody else see these?

Yeah, I get that when it's really bright out. Sometimes I don't even have to squint.

I don't have glasses, and I get this sometimes. I think it's normal?

These things are commonly known as "floaters" and almost everyone sees them from time to time, regardless of vision or squinting. They are basically cells that are left over from your life in the womb, and will be there for the rest of your life.

Learned about those in Psych AP xD

They were mailboxes! I didn't have the heart to tell you!

On topic, I don't think he's talking about floaters. When you look into bright light and squint hard enough, your eyelashes create a grid of lines that look like reflections off of water or something. I used to squint purposefully as a kid to see the lines and manipulate them by flexing my eyes.

Is that what you're talking about?

SQUIGGLY LINES IN MY EYES!

I remember telling my friends about this and they were all like "YOU TOO?" It was like talking about Pokemon or Power Rangers for some reason, bringing it up randomly and then having them go "OH YOU TOO? LOLROFL!" and feeling all nostalgic about it.
