When Flashes In Vision Mean Trouble

Описание: If you are seeing flashes of light in your vision, keep watching! There are many different causes and some of them require immediate attention and treatment to prevent permanent vision loss! Retinal breaks and retinal detachments can cause flashes, floaters, blurry vision, and other symptoms and require treatment within 24-72 hours.

There can also be age-related changes in the eye that lead to a sudden increase of floaters. While it often happens without a problem, sometimes there can retinal issues that need to be addressed.

Don't forget about migraines which can cause a large variety of pretty impressive-looking flashes.

In this video, I'll cover the different causes, other symptoms that might be present with each cause, and what might make each cause more likely.

I hope to help narrow down your search for the cause, get you prepared for a visit with your doctor to help speed up the diagnosis and treatment process. If you have flashes in the eye, call your doctor right away!
