Having flashes of light in the corner of left eye sometimes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitreous detachment: Most likely, this is a "vitreous detachment" or a separation of the vitreous from the back of the eye. If this persists or is accompanied by floaters or a curtain, see an ophthalmologist immediately.
