A member asked:
Should i see an eye specialist if i commonly see tiny streaks of light and flashes of lights (or colours)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Flashes of light could indicate traction on your retina, which could lead to a tear or detachment of the retina. An eye md can offer a complete dilated exam to inspect your entire retina for any problems.
