Flashes: Can be caused by a retinal problem. Call an ophthalmologist to discuss this. You may need a retinal exam.

See below: Floaters, flashing lights, or part of the peripheral vision missing (like a curtain or veil obscuring your vision) indicates the need for an urgent dilated retinal examination to rule out retinal tear or detachment.
