A member asked:
Whats the difference between eye floaters and flashes? can floater be clear and thick or are these flashes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Floaters are stingly, cobweb like elements that are in your field of vision and move around. Flashes are flashes of light and are transient. Flashes are more of a cause for concern.
