Any Suggestion For Experiencing Flashing Orange Light On Bedroom Wall In Darkness?
last night i experienced flashing orange light which appeared to be on the wall of my bedroom when the light was turned off and the room in darkness. This morning as i awoke the same thing is happening,especially when moving my head from side to side. Vision in the eye is average, [i am 71 years of age] and this condition doesnt appear to have effected the vision in my eye. Could you possibly offer any explanation for these symtoms.
Regards

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having flashes of light.
Flashes of light especially sudden in onset needs evaluation to look for retinal problems like retinal tear.
Hence this requires evaluation by a eye doctor to look for underlying cause by simple tests like indirect ophthalmoscopy and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
