Is it normal to see flashing lights?!


Question: Is it normal to see flashing lights?
I'm not talking about that thing when you look at something bright then look away. I've been seeing this bright White light out of the corner of my eyes and its just moving around slowly until I focus on it going away. My friends keep saying I'm going crazy because I always turn around quickly when the flashing looks like it's behind me.
I'm sure I probably just looked at a bight light a while ago but after a month it's kinda bugging me. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Answers:

NO it isn't normal, please see an eye doctor. When I was 18 I had weird things going on in my vision too, and thank goodness I went to an eye doctor because it turned out I had a disorder that was blinding me slowly. The doctor said the longer I waited, the more irreversible it becomes. Insurance or not see a doctor... call around and get prices, it really isn't too expensive.
Flashes typically have to do with your retina detaching... which will make you blind!
