Flashes or floaters: Spots or floaters in your vision are typically harmless and usually only a natural aging process of the eye. If you notice a change or increase in floaters with any flashes of lights, this maybe a warning signs of a retinal detachment or a tear in the retina.

Glaucoma occurs with damage to the optic nerve which functions to transmit visual images to the brain. It is usually a slow process with no symptoms but the visual field defects can be permanent. Noticing distorted images: If straight lines start to appear wavy or distorted, the part of your retina responsible for central vision called the macula, might be being affected by diseases like age-related macular degeneration or other chronic systemic diseases.
