Need an exam: A bright flash of light, sometimes associated with floaters in one eye can be caused by the jelly portion of the eye (vitreous) collapsing or detaching. This is a common problem. Sometimes, this can lead to a retinal hole or tear which is serious. You should seen an ophthalmologist (md) to be examined and determine what the problem is.
