What is happening when I see a bright circular light in my eyes?
I've had this happen twice now. I start to feel icky. Not sick to my stomach, or headache, not flu like, just icky and then this bright light appears in my eyes like when a eye doctor is looking into my eye when I have an eye exam with his light. I mean it's that bright. The only other way I could explain it is like the old time flash in a camera and you look away and you see a dark spot, well this is the opposite. I am 55 years old. And sure some people will write and say see a doctor, but the closest one is 100+ miles away. Plus it's only happened twice, in the last few months. What do you think it is? So I can research it over the internet and then travel those 100 miles etc. Thanks!

Do you have floaters? Floaters will appear as little black specks in your vision. If you have those and are seeing the bright flashes of light then you really need to get to a doctor as soon as possible. Your retina could be detaching. This also can be caused by an ocular migraine. Look up floaters and ocular migraines on the internet and read more about the symptoms of each.

Those symptoms are not good. It can be a lot of things. You do need to see a doctor.
I had a stroke last year and I am lucky to be alive: go to the doctor
