What Causes Flashes Of Lights In One Eye?

I am seeing a flash of white light that moves in a circular if not a c motion. I had this happen to me a few years back in the left eye when I received a blow to the left eye. This time round, I received another blow to the right eye and therefore seeing this flash of light in my right eye. Could this be the cause and should I be concerned?

Hello,
You need to see an eye doctor as soon as possible. This could be a sign of a detached retina and if it is you could lose sight in that eye if it is not treated. Do not delay, seen an eye doctor today.
