[edit] Cure?

Is there a cure?

There is no cure because it isn't a disease; it's perfectly normal, everybody has it. AxelBoldt 19:39, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Is there something wrong with you if you don't have it (have never noticed it)? 128.122.253.212 21:37, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

No. There's a definite "trick" to seeing it. It's not like a fireworks display or shooting stars or anything like that. It's very gentle, subtle, and hardly interferes with vision at all. For me, it's harder to see than floaters, but easier to see than Haidinger's brush.

To see it, it really helps to have a good "blue field." The sky isn't blue enough. And the field you're looking at has to be nice and smooth and featureless, because if it has any texture to it you tend to pay attention to that and miss the effect. Plus, there are no blood vessels in the fovea, so you never see this effect at the place where you're looking, you only see it off to the side in indirect vision.

Probably most people never see it or notice it at all. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
