Problems with my right eye?!
Question: Problems with my right eye!?
Well, I'll start off by saying that I'm 22 years old and I do wear glasses (nearsighted)!. Just in case that helps or holds any relevance!. Anyway, recently I've been seeing these small shadows in my vision on my right eye!. Tiny dots and strands that move when I move my eye!. Then, even more recent, I keep seeing flashes of light in my right eye!. It's always around the edge of my eye, more toward the right side of it!. It's a HUGE annoyance!. It keeps getting more and more constant!. The flash of light is a very bright white and as I said, usually only on the outside right part of the right eye!. Sometimes, the flash of light is larger than other times!. I'm just wondering if something like this will go away or of I should be going to a doctor!.

I've had seven surgeries for retinal detachments, mine went unnoticed with no symptoms really!. So you should get it checked just to be safe, but soon because if it is a detachment it can move quickly!. It may be just a hole or tear but definitely get it looked at soon!.
I hope for you that it's not a detachment!. If after you go to the doctor and need some support or have any questions you can message me!. I'm 21 btw and this all happened to me within the past year!. Good luck! Definitely let me know what happens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I work for a group of retinal surgeons!. The retina is the back part of your eye!. You could have a retinal detachment or tear!. It is VERY important that you are seen by a retina doctor!!!!! Are you diabetic!? You don't have to be to have one, but are more at risk if you are!. Flashes and floaters are considered emergencies in our office!. If you see something that looks like a cobweb in your vision call IMMEDIATELY!. Even if you don't, see your eye doctor!. Don't wait!Www@Answer-Health@Com
That needs checking out!. As an urgency, not an emergency, unless you notice more change!.
98% of fresh flashes and floaters are harmless and require no treatment!.
2% are the early signs of retinal detachment!. But since "waiting to see" is a really bad idea, you need an eye exam!.
