A member asked:

Can someone see flashes of light caused by moving positions too fast? would this be a concern if they don't happen often? floaters too.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Sounds like you may have had a temporary decrease in blood flow to your optic nerve and retina from abrupt alterations in your positioning. I would be worried only if this happens when your not moving around abruptly. I would see a doctor for a depressed exam for the floaters to make sure you don't have a tear.
