      In most cases these are left by one of 2 things: small debris on the eye getting blurred and magnified, or as a trail left by the eye being hit by a bright light source as it rolls in it’s socket.

      So certain lifestyles almost never experience these.

        Thats not true, they float around and your eye movement can kind of influence their direction.

        They are actually blood cells or proteins floating around in the liquid inside your eyeball. There was this one building where I regularly went to for about a year and they had walls in a white color so bright that I saw these every single time.
