I am with Phill in this issue, as some years ago also I started seeing flashes and it was the retina gone loose. First the retina of my right eye was fixed by laser surgery, as it had gone loose because my head had been hit - and two years after that the retina of my left eye had to be operated for the same reason, though this time the retina had a hole because of a typical injury caused by strong near-sightedness (no v*olence in that case). Without surgery I would be blind now... So I recommend checking one's eyes just in case, though seeing flashes/spots may also be related to anxiety/migraine.
CAMERA FLASH SPOT IN LEFT EYE
G
Hi Guys
I can say that I am fully recovered for a full 2 weeks now. No symptoms of anxiety, dp/dr or depression. So yep it is possible.
Now I want to know this, I have always had vision problems when anxiety hit but this has all gone away & now it seems that I have this bright camera flash spot in my left eye only. You know like the after flash you get from looking at the camera? well I have had this for 2 days now & well I'm getting a bit worried, a little anxious.
I'm going to optometrist tomorrow & as usual I am telling myself it is just anxiety but at the same time I am like what if it isn't should I prepare myself for an eye operation?
Could you guys prepare me for what to expect?
