Answer 1

What You Should Know About Flashes & Floaters

What are floaters?
Floaters are usually caused by condensations of the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. Shrinking of the vitreous causes the gel to pull off of the eye wall, causing a posterior vitreous detachment. This is commonly age related, but is also more common with nearsightedness, following trauma or surgery, or with inflammation inside the eye. Floaters can also be caused by bleeding into the vitreous (as in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions) or with eye inflammations.

Although they appear to be in front of your eye, they are actually floating within the vitreous inside your eye. You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They may have variable shapes, including small dots, cobwebs, clouds, or lines. They are often most noticeable when looking at a plain blue background, such as a computer screen or blue sky.

What are flashes?
Flashes are often caused by the vitreous pulling on the retina during a posterior vitreous detachment or with the development of a retinal break or detachment. The flashes often develop just before floaters are seen. They usually are bright light-colored, occur in only one eye, and are without shape.

Migraines are another common cause of flashing lights. Some people experience flashes of light that appear as jagged, often colored, lines or "heat waves" in both eyes, often lasting 10-20 minutes. If a headache follows the flashes, it is called a migraine headache. However, jagged lines or "heat waves" can occur without a headache as part of an ophthalmic migraine. Migraines are often associated with light sensitivity, nausea, and tiredness.

Can flashes or floaters cause vision loss?
Sudden flashes or floaters can signify a retinal break or detachment which can cause blindness if left untreated. You should have an emergency eye examination for sudden floaters or flashes in one eye. However for most, these symptoms are temporary, and not associated with any serious eye problems or permanent vision loss.
I found this information and it may be useful:


Although floaters are usually frightening and annoying when they first develop, they usually become much less noticeable within several weeks to months. The floaters can often be moved out of the way by moving your eyes around. Rarely, some will require vitrectomy, a relatively painless outpatient surgery, to remove the vitreous for visually disabling floaters.

I get that too...mine look like little black bugs though...running around. They come and go...sometimes only one eye, sometimes both. They are called "floaters" and are usually harmless but sometimes can be related to some serious problems (Mine are only related to my pregnancy).

I'd get checked out by a doctor if I were you. Here are a few site with more information for you. Good luck.

If this is a new thing for you, definitely see your doctor. New floaters can be signals of more serious conditions. Don't waste time, get an appointment and go.
