A member asked:
If a blood vessel in the retina bleeds, would i be likely to see a constant floater or a rapidly flashing floater?

Rapidly increasing: floaters and often some haziness. maybe lowered vision. easy to see on exam. preventable.

Floater: This link from Harvard Medical School provides information of floaters and flashes. If you have a sudden increase in floaters/ flashes get evaluated asap by an eye care professional. Retinal conditions (tears or detachments) can cause these symptoms and lead to permanent loss of vision. http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/what-you-can-do-about-floaters-and-flashes-in-the-eye-201306106336
