Vitreous traction: When your vitreous is moved around by the rubbing of the eye, it tugs a little on the retina which responds to the mechanical stimulus by thinking this is a light signal and you see a flash of light. The images on the retina are from the opposite side so a flash from below originates in the retina above. If the retinal specialist saw not problem, then don't worry.
