For the arcs, ideally you want one of those old digital bedside clocks, the ones with red LED numbers. A single red LED isn&#039;t usually bright or big enough, but you might be lucky. Turn the lights out and don&#039;t quite look at the numbers - go just a little bit to the side. Over a few seconds to perhaps half a minute you should start seeing blue or bluish-violet arcs from the light to where your blind spot(s) are (two arcs per eye, one arching over and one under, like the outline of a giant almond), and probably a bluish glow around the red numbers. Close one eye and that side&#039;s will go away, of course. Eventually they will fade, but blinking will refresh them until then.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[i&#039;ll try to figure out a way to check that out. one thing i enjoyed as a kid was pressing against the eyes and watching the patterns. something i noticed a few days ago was if i squint my eyes shut tight when i wake up, in the dark, and then open them quickly, i can see bluish rings near the center of my field of vision, one per eye.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because I used to be on the other side of the thing with a pile of little tissues on it, I know its name and why it happens but that is nowhere near as beautiful or intersting as the thing itself.  My favourite eyeball illusion is the blue arcs phenomenon. It&#039;s an old friend, and the most mysterious of all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now you&#039;ve seen one of the many reasons I do what I do... I got to cut up a leg the other day... it had a bunch of inscriptions all over it, one of them was &quot;Bye Leggy&quot;.  I found something inside that the radiologist couldn&#039;t see and the surgeon could only suspect.  How cool is that?  That&#039;s when staying late at work pays off.]]></description>
