Floaters, flashes and streaks of light in vision?!
Question: Floaters, flashes and streaks of light in vision!?
I've seen ophtamologists and done research but I'm not fully satisfied yet!.
Not only I see black and sometimes transparent "floaters" in my vision (usually happens when looking against bright backgrounds) but sometimes I also see bright and sudden flashes of light or this strong yellow or blue streak of light across my vision (left eye generally) and in seconds if becomes transparent but still holding its original color (either yellow or blue) and then it disappears within a few minutes!. Any idea what this is, why it happens and what are the optical risks invoved!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Gosh, I'm no doctor, but I used to work for an ophthalmologist and I know I've heard comments that floaters are normal!. The flashes and streaks could be a sign of detached retina but I don't know!. If the opth!. didn't satisfy your questions try another!. Good luck and make that call soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You might want to see your family doctor, and perhaps a neurologist!. Sometimes symptoms like that can be a sign of a neurological problem and not related to your eyes themselves!.
I get symptoms like that with migraines, but you need to check with a doctor to find out the full range of what it could be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My understanding is that streaks of light occur with a detached retina--go see an opthomologist (not an optician) this is very serious and should not be ignored!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
