Floaters/Flashes
Many people experience floaters and sometimes flashing lights. These symptoms can be related to changes in the vitreous, tears of the retina or detachments of the retina. If a tear or detachment of the retina has occurred, immediate treatment by a retina specialist is necessary.
If you experience symptoms of floaters or flashing lights, especially when they are new in onset or associated with changes in your vision, immediate evaluation by a retina specialist is necessary.
