What Causes A Spot Vision With Ripples Around It?

an ordinary flash of light will make a spot in my vision that then proceeds to ripple out to the edge over several minutes. when it gets about halfway, i have a circle of disturbance around my center vision that can be a little nauseating. i'm 59, wear glasses for my nearsightness.
