Hello,

 

I have been experiencing quick flashes of colourful circles when I wake up around 05.30 hours after about 5-6 hours of sleep. This started about 4 weeks ago. Had thought it was normal, due to lack of sleep / and or stress.  they don't seem to be disappearing now. occurs everyday in the morning.

sometimes, the flashes are less than a full circle, about 4-5 of them small to large. separate  formation in front of each eye.

I am past 58, male, work is a stressful,.. had a Angioplast and stenting done about 12 years ago; otherwise healthy, weighs about 70+ Kg...mostly stays in indoor air-conditioned environment, though outside  is pretty hot and dusty. Have been using eye plain eye drops for decades two to three times a day, couple of drops in each eye.

Is my problem serious or to be ignored ?
