Question: Does anyone know the medical term for the lights you see!.!.!.!?
when your eyes are closed!? I know there's a word for it, but I just can't remember it!. It happens especially after you rub your eyelids!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
When you rub your eyes aggressively, you can temporarily and dramatically increase the pressure inside your eyes!. This increase in pressure PHYSICALLY stimulates the photoreceptors in the retina!. It doesn't matter whether light stimulates the photoreceptors or pressure, the only way the brain can interpret information from the photoreceptors is in a perception of light!. These colors are called "pressure phosphenes"!. This is normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
