Normal to have very small ring-like lights in vision in complete dark with eye movements.are these flashes?got retina examined a week back, no issues?

Phosphenes: Your description sounds like phosphenes related to movement of the vitreous jelly in the eye during eye movement. It should decrease with time but retinal followup is recommended.
