How to treat eye problems-visual burn in/specks of flashing lights, floaters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safest bet: would be to have an eye exam to make sure the eye is otherwise healthy. Flashing lights means there is active traction on the retina. This can lead to retinal tear or detachment. Be well.
