I have a blackspot in my eye and flashes what does that mean?

Needs evaluation: The most common cause of these symptoms is a posterior vitreous detachment. But there are more serious problems, like retinal detachment or tear, that can cause the same symptoms. Get this evaluated by an ophthalmologist soon.
