A member asked:
I have a reoccurring flashing circular light maybe once a week that lasts for 15 minutes. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: I might wonder about classical migraine aura, but usually this occurs at a younger age. Might be concerned however, about retinal detachment, vitreous detachment or perhaps transient brain ischemia. Would have eye specialist get involved first, and later, if no answer, see a local neurologist.
