A member asked:
These days my wife is seeing flashes in one eye occasionally.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an eye doctor: Most of the time, flashes of light are related either to floaters (changes to the gel that fills the back of the eye), our less commonly migraines. If the flashes last for more than a day, or if there is a decrease in vision as well, see an eye doctor right away.
