I am planning on going to the eye doctor but wanted to know what this could be. . . sometimes, especially when it's especially bright or dim in a room, my eyesight will "flicker"--go dim for a moment, or alternate between dim and normal for a few moments, as if someone is turning a light on and off. Any ideas on what this can be? I can't seem to find anything on the Web about it. Thanks.

There are several things it could be- Including glaucoma. It's a good thing you've set up an appointment with the eye doctor!

This is early symptoms of sever eye disease call retinal detachment.If you also see flies and lose some peripheral vision,you should see a eye doctor immediately,because if not treat on time you could lose vision.

Seizure activity sometimes manifests itself in this way. If you see your eye doctor and he/she has no answers for you, your next trip should probably be to the neurologist.
Best of luck to you,
