I have light flashes in my left eye. it sometimes even wakes me when i am sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Light flashes in the eye can be from a number of sources - from migraine aura to problems with the back of the eye to something irritating the brain and causing local seizure-like activity. Probably best to get an evaluation by your doctor or a neurologist.
