I can get in this state too, Lightheaded helps, worn out helps, tired eyes from looking at a screen helps.

Then for some immediate relief, I will squeeze my nose bridge from the eye socket from both sides.

And in that moment of relaxation, I will see stars. Probably from starting to breath slower, it's a lack of oxygen caused faintness, then the light and fractals and patterns come in. If I relax, and dont blink, just chill, they will slowly grow larger. Blink or stop focusing and it goes away.

I think it has something to do with the liquid environment of the eye, and how tired and watery it can be. Squeezing that water away to another part seems to short circuit the eye and give fuzzy electrical sparks and fractal patterns.
