A member asked:

When blinking, i see colorful dots in my eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: Your retina can be stimulated by both light and pressure or other physical causes. If it is only when you blink your eye tightly, this is normal. If it begins to happen more frequently with just normal blinking, you should have an exam. If you begin to see flashes of light or have vision changes, go to the closest ER.
