Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I experienced a flash of light in my right peripheral vision day before yesterday. It was followed by two floaters in my right eye...and flashes (streaks) seemingly on movement and only noticable in dark or low light. The floaters are still there but seem to be becoming more faint. I would like to know if I can delay getting this checked (unless symptons worsen) for six weeks when my Medicare Insurance becomes effective. My current health insurance has a high deductible and it would be better to wait if possible. I am a very healthy and fit 64 year old female. Thanks so much for your help. Mary
