Why is it that when you rub your eyes, you see red and yellow and orange like flames?


Question:


Answers:
Pressure on your eyes causes the cones and rods of your retina to fire. It is just a chemical response and your brain makes sense of it from learned responses. The colors are dependent on the cone cells that are triggered.

I see black with rainbow glitter..LOL
Wow! That sounds cool! How do you do it?
When you open yr eyes any light and images going in are reflected backwards into the eye receptors that send the images to your brain and then decipher the shapes forms etc of what you see. When you look at something very bright and you close your eyes, you will see that image you last saw but only as COLORS EXPLODING. Its strange. To me, it is that the frames and light we see is still stored in the brain so that even when closing the eyes for a few moments those images stored come out but not as you saw them. But as in a roll of undeveloped film. You have the negative charged images you cant see all but you see the outline and brightness.
