What does it mean to see silver sprinkles or stars on your vision?

Depends: The three most common cause of seeing flashing lights are: 1. Ocular migraine 2. Vitreous detachment and 3. Retinal detachment. The first two are not as serious, but the last one requires surgical intervention. You should see your eye md for diagnosis and treatment.
