Floaters, Flashes, Pulsating Vision, Blue Field Phenomenon

Hello everybody,

I've been having lots of problems with my eyes. Here they are:
1) 5 years ago I started developing floaters. They are not very bothersome unless I am outside on a cloudy day
2) 1 year ago I got what you call Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon. It's driving me crazy today because I can see hundreds of small bright sparkles moving very fast in my vision. I can even see them on white walls.
3) 6 month ago I developed pulsating vision. When looking at something bright like sky or wall my vision pulsates slightly with every heart beat
4) Flashes. The most bothersome symptom. They started 6 months ago. They come and go. They are mostly seen in dark environments. Sometimes they are pinpoint flashes sometimes they look like shimmering in the periphery of the eyes.

All those symptoms happen in both eyes.

For the past 4 months I've been to 4 different eye doctors. They all dilated my eyes and said nothing was wrong. I even had an ultrasound image of my eyes.
I don't know what to do. The flashes keep me awake at nights. All those symptoms are pretty much 24/7 now.

I've answered your questions on a different post:
1. Floaters are a normal part of the way the eye matures and ages.
2. Blue Field entopic phemon or "flying corpuscle" is a normal part of the vision of all normal eyes although many people are either unaware of it or tune it out.
3. There is a discussion group here over 1000 posts going on multiple years about this observation. Very few have developed anything serious. You can read about it elsewhere using the search feature.
4. See an ophthalmologist to be sure your eyes are healthy. Likely you are tuning in on other entopic phenomena
