what does it mean when you have flashing light in your eye
Causes of flashes in your vision. As the vitreous âgelâ within your eye shrinks, it may pull on the retina (the focusing surface at the back of your eye). If the retina is peeled away from the back of the eye, it can cause flashes of light in your vision to occur. A retinal tear or detached retina is a serious and potentially sight-threatening condition.
