A phosphene is the perception of light without light actually entering the eye, for instance caused by pressure applied to the closed eyes.A phenomenon that could be entoptical if the eyelashes are considered to be part of the eye is seeing light diffracted through the eyelashes. The phenomenon appears as one or more light disks crossed by dark blurry lines (the shadows of the lashes), each having fringes of spectral colour. The disk shape is given by the circular aperture of the pupil. See also

Examples
Some examples of entoptical effects include:

Floaters or muscae volitantes are slowly drifting blobs of varying size, shape, and transparency, which are particularly noticeable when viewing a bright, featureless background (such as the sky) or a point source of diffuse light very close to the eye. They are shadow images of objects floating in liquid between the retina and the jelly inside the eye (the vitreous) or in the vitreous humor itself. They are visible because they move; if they were pinned to retina by the vitreous or fixed within the vitreous they would be as invisible as ordinary viewing of any stationary object, such as the retinal blood vessels (see Purkinje tree below). Some may be individual red blood cells swollen due to osmotic pressure. Others may be chains of red blood cells stuck together; diffraction patterns can be seen around these. [2] Others may be "coagula of the proteins of the vitreous gel, to embryonic remnants, or the condensation round the walls of Cloquets canal" that exist in pockets of liquid within the vitreous. [3]  The first two sort of floaters may collect over the fovea (the center of vision), and therefore be more visible, when a person is lying on his or her back looking upwards. Blue field entoptic phenomenon has the appearance of tiny bright dots moving rapidly along squiggly lines in the visual field.
