Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
Thanks for the query..
This could be just a normal floaters.. Nothing to worry about that..
But if you are a myope or if the flashes of light are consistent and remain for few seconds do consult an ophthalmologist for peripheral retinal evaluation to rule out any retinal tears..
Hope this information is helpful to you..
take care..
Regards..
