Eye tests - weird visual effect, normal?

sleepymans

When I have my eyesight test, when the ophthalmologist shines a very bright torch light into my eyes I am aware of a sort of “negative”shadow display of the blood vessels (I assume) of my eye. (Hard to describe) I thought that is normal…..however my partner who also has regular eye test tells me he hasn’t the foggiest idea what I’m talking about!! Now I think my eyes might be abnormal!!! Anyone else experience this???

if there was anything wrong the ophthalmologist would have found it when he checked your eyes.

Yes, people shine bright light into eyes things look weird for a bit.

Some people notice things more than others. I assume you get many "floaters" and he does not? (he does he just doesn't notice).

I get exactly the same. I have also always assumed it was normal!

Seeing the blood vessels in your eye?  Yes, I have always assumed this was normal too.
