Why Do You See Strange Colors When You Rub Your Eyes? 👀Added:
Have you ever rubbed your eyes and seen strange lights or colors? Those weird colors you see after rubbing your eyes aren't your imagination. So, why does this happen? When you rub your eyes really hard, the pressure stimulates the cells in your retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. These cells send signals to your brain, making you see lights and colors even with your eyes closed.
Scientists call these phantom lights phosphenes. And don't worry, this is completely normal, especially for people who like and subscribe.
