Seeing a flicker of light in eyes sometimes after dark. it means what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eye light flicker: Eye light flickers or photopsia can be due to many issues (such as floaters, migraines, retinal issues, etc). To rule out retinal tears and/or detachment, you should see an eye doctor urgently for a dilated eye exam.
