In a technique known as blue field entoptoscopy, the effect is used to estimate the blood flow in the retinal capillaries.The patient is alternatingly shown blue light and a computer generated picture of moving dots; by adjusting the speed and density of these dots, the patient tries to match the computer generated picture to the perceived entoptic dots.
This effect usually resolves as the eye adapts. Certain medications, such as sildenafil, can also induce cyanopsia by temporarily altering retinal function, medication management and adjustments can be made to fix the issue. Rarely, conditions affecting the retina or optic nerve can lead to cyanopsia, though these cases are less documented. [3]
Changes in the eye can help predict other health concerns in the body, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. A new study has identified a set of 29 vascular health indicators on the retina ...

Orbital disease is the most common manifestation, and may result in proptosis , restrictive ophthalmopathy , chronic orbital pain, and in chronic cases, orbital retraction syndrome and intractable socket pain.
This effect is known as the Ganzfeld Effect. In conditions of low illumination, especially in dimly lit environments, this phenomenon is related to how the eyes and the brain process visual information in insufficient lighting.
