    I think it's just your eyes going out of focus. Mine do it too if I stare at something long enough.

    Our senses generally detect *change* of stimulus, not the stimulus itself - e.g. you feel the seat when you sit down but you don't continue to feel it indefinitely. It fades away even though the pressure is still there all the time. Same with your eyes - they alert you to changes of sensation but not to unchanging parts of your vision.
