Yes, and if I stare at a flat surface (especially a body of water), I can sometimes see bacteria moving across the surface of my eye, which really freaked me out when I was a kid.

they are called floaters, and i have them all the time and willl not go away.

No, what he is describing are the cones and rods in his eye playing tricks.

They look like billions of swimming points when you look at the sky. They get worse if you hold your breath or strain.

Floaters are larger and far fewer in number.

That is perfectly normal, especially if you do some hard physical exercise like football (or soccer to you Americans).

Actually it's not. If you can hear this on a frequent basis, have your blood pressure checked.

I get those. I figure it's caused by dust.

What you're seeing there is globs of protien floating around in the jelly part of your eye. They will go away after a long time, but you may get persistant ones as you age. If you get one that is blocking your vision they can be removed.
