A member asked:

Can starving cause flashing dots in one's vision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: First--starving yourself, especially to lose weight is a poor method to keep weight off. These spots can be vitreous floaters which can be a sign of a retina problem--please see an ophthalmologist.
