The last several months-a year I've noticed that when I rub my eyes I see a field of blue spots, and they persist for about a second after I open my eyes.
But this morning I was rubbing my eyes because they have been very itchy due to allergies. Had a pretty good session going when I noticed a yellow ring forming in my vision. My eyes were closed and the ring started to fill in like a donut. I stopped and opened my eyes and the ring stayed there like a bright after burn from looking at a lightbulb. It was bright yellow. It persisted for maybe 20-30 seconds as it faded away. It just really freaked me out as I've never seen anything like this before. Is this just a normal phosphene? Could I damage my eye from stimulating this kind of phosphene? Or is there something possibly wrong with my eyes??? One of my major anxieties is about my eyes since I started seeing floaters and on occasion tiny flashes two years ago...just wondering if the blue dots and yellow ring are normal and I'm just causing myself anxiety for no reason..
