Bluefield entoptic phenomenon (sheerers phenomenon)

Hello.
Im from Portugal, so i hope you understand my english.
When i was 19 years old i notice for the first time floaters, i was looking to the sky, after some seconds i notice a lot of tiny bright white dots that move in my field of vision, after that day always i look into the sky or something white bright with enough light i see those tiny bright dots, i ve  seen a ophtalmologist and he says that my eyes are healthy that there is no problem with my floaters, now im 27 years old after 8 years my vision is perfect and i ve been searching about it, i always think that the tiny bright white dots were the reflex of light in my floaters but after reading about bluefield entoptic phenomenon (sheerers phenomenon) i realise that it is what i experience, because the tiny white bright dots that i see perform paths in curves and circles sometimes like a zig zag they follow each other, they appear and disappear and i can notice that when my herat beat is accelarated they move faster, in one or two bright dots i notice a dark tail.

Do you confirm this is bluefield entoptic phenomenon (sheerers phenomenon) ?
There is any cure or treatment for this?
My eyes are normal?

Im waiting for the reply

thanks

1. Yes it is. Fascinating isn't it. I noted the blue field phenomenon before I was a physician and always wondered what it was.
2. Since its normal it doesn't need any treatment.
3. Only an exam by an Eye MD ophthalmologist can tell but the bluefield is as normal as being able to hear your heart beat or your lungs exhale.

Your English is excellent.
