Hojo Motor Whenever I look at the sky, even if it’s cloudy, I get eye floaters. I also get them in the winter from snow glare. For some reason I don’t get them when looking at artificial light, like light bulbs. When I look at something darker they go away immediately. I have a theory that when I look at something bright my pupil contracts and that pulls the floaters closer to my line of sight. And when I look at something darker they go away because my pupil expands. Am I right or is it something else?
Chosen Answer:
I think the floaters are there all the time, it is just that you don’t notice them except during very bright conditions. I experience exactly the same phenominom as you describe (except I can see them with artificial light too if it is bright enough). I had an eye test not too long ago where they put the drops in and scrutinize with the slit lamp and all that, and they didn’t act like it was any problem, so chances are you are OK too.

it’s all in your head
I would go get your eyes checked, millions of people get them, and they come and go, but go get check so you`ll know your not going to go blind anyway, I had them and found out I had real low blood sugar, but there is lots of reasons, for them. good luck and God bless you.
possibly scheerer’s phenomenon:

I’m not exactly sure about your theory. The floaters in your eye are harmless bits of protein floating through the vitreous humor of your eye. It is the brightness of natural light that makes them more obvious when you are outside – they stand out in contrast to the bright sky or back lit clouds.
You can reduce the floaters that you see by paying attention to your diet (people with food allergies or chronic yeast infections, candidiasis, are more likely to have floaters), your stress level, and the amount of exercise you get.
There is a lot of information about eye floaters here: http://www.naturaleyecare.com/diseases.asp?d_num=6
