Dear Gloria,
Yes you are seeing your white blood cells as you have just discovered for yourself.
Here's some information on the "Entopic Phenomenon".
The entopic phenomenon is a normal phenomenon that some people may become suddenly aware of. This sudden awareness may lead to the idea that there is a problem with the eyes, when actually there is not.
The entopic phenomenon can be seen especially when looking at a bright blue sky. Small, rapid pin-point sparks of light can be seen darting about in the central vision.
Some people may think that these sparks are floaters.
In reality, they represent white blood cells moving through the blood capillaries of the retina.
As far as no one else seeing them, let me assure you that everyone can see them. Just ask one of your friends to look up at the bright blue sky and tell you exactly what they see as they stare out into space. They should tell you they see the same sparkles that you see and that we all see.
This phenomenon is perfectly normal and actually indicates normal retinal function
