A member asked:

What would cause clear swirling circles when looking at white walls or on a bright day or when light is shinning in windows? not normal floaters.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Entoptics: You are seeing your white blood cells swirling around in that circumstance. This is normal and is a sign of excellent eye health. It has to do with the anatomy of the retina; a little too complex to explain in this short a space.
