Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having problem of seeing flash of light. This symptom needs to be evaluated as flashes of light sometimes indicates posterior segment problems involving the retina like retinal tear.
This requires prophylactic treatment by the use of prophylactic lasers to prevent complications like retinal detachment.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
