Age 35 - Flashing light at the outer side of left eye one night. Recurring flashes one at a time the following nights-- total 5-10 a day. I had my LASIK done 9 years ago and 2 separate corneal tears later on on the left eye. Visit to eye doc 2 days ago said everything looks fine. He checked for retinal tears/detachment and found none. Have a follow up in 3 weeks. The only difference in lifestyle is a pretty hectic new job, not trying to get hydrated and lots more tv than ever. Will see how this goes...

I am experiencing flashes of light in my left eye when I shake my head only the last two nights. I thought it was light reflecting on my glasses but It happened even without my glasses on and in the dark. I now know what it us according to this site and there is no treatment it says it may go away on its own but I think I will get my eye checked by the optician anyway.

You really need to go to an eye doctor for a complete eye scan. Mine did something called an Optimap and discovered I had a tiny tear in my retina which could have become very serious ( a detached retina) if I had not seen them when I did. I then had an appointment in about a week with a specialist to have laser surgery to repair the tear.

I'm 72 yr old male...and I recently experienced similar intermittent light 'flashes' that appeared either when I was in a darkened room or one that had dim lighting. Light 'flash' only lasts for a fraction of a second and seemed to have a correlation to moving my right eye ball. Shape of flash seemed to be very thin and slightly curved and only appears on the right or bottom right side of eye. I had an eye exam a couple of years ago and was told that I needed cataract surgery in both eyes but I have scheduled...guess it's time to go back for another eye doctor visit.

I am an 84-year-old man in good health and no eye problems. yesterday of the 19th of Nov. I was driving back from McCormick SC at around 5:30 AM in a very isolated overcast morning. It was pitch black on a single highway between a heavy forested area. No other cars on the road and the only light was on the road from my headlights. suddenly to the left of my vision extremely bright strobing lights appeared to follow on the side of my car highlighting the tree trunks for about 10 seconds. I was traveling 60 mph, I did not want to take my eyes off the road and in my mind tried to think what they could be. I thought maybe it was a cell or tv tower with strobe lights but all of a sudden, the lights ended with a extreamly bright flash appearing to light the road in front of me. /

I am 78yrs. I had this happen a few times many years ago, then none since until last night. I had been burning the candle at both ends. I also have Fibromyalgia which is muscular pain that moves around. At the moment its affecting across my shoulders including back of neck. I'm assuming this could be part of the problem. Although showing signs of Migraines I don't have a bad headache just a minor heaviness. My son who was studying to be a nurse, when I got a few of these flashing lights years ago, said he believed it to be Electrolytes and caused by salts in the blood. He also said it was nothing to be worried about and to just drink plenty of water. This does seem to ease the symptoms straight away. I think its the different things we have in our bloods that are not balanced. As for myself it could be that I am taking Milk Thistle to aid a minor problem and also taking Senna for constipation. This MAY be altering the balance of mine, so will see how it goes both with and without these additives. Also I did have a change of statins which may have caused it, which I will discuss this with my Dr. I hope some of this will help someone who has the same symptoms.

This happened to me tonight on my way to work. I thought someone was shinning a laser light or light in my back seat of my car. I pulled over to see what it was. Every time I turned my head to the right I saw the streaks of light flash on the roof of my car and into the back seat. Thought I was going nuts! What do I do? Eye exam?
