Seeing shapes in vision similar to what you see after staring at a light

[Missing7]

For the past several months, I've been seeing shapes in my vision similar to what you would see after staring at a bright light. However, I see these all the time, even without staring at a bright light source. I also don't seem to be blinking very often. maybe 1-3 times a minute. I had an eye screening with a ophthalmologist a couple of months ago who said my eyes look fine. Could this be some sort of neurological problem instead?

I don't know. I don't get a lot of sleep and my eyes are dry a lot. So, I'm going to try eliminating both of those as contributing factors and see if that helps. Obviously, my main concern is permanent damage or the visual disturbances being apart of something serious. I may just get a second opinion from another ophthalmologist.

What I found stated that phosphenes were usually from pressure on the eye or an action like sneezing. What I am referring to, I see without pressure being applied to my eyes. I also don't just see spots or circles and they aren't floaters. I see all sorts of shapes. Mostly rectangular ones.

This is normal.  Google phosphenes and entopic phenomenon.
