Confused about flashes

2019-03-15 07:07:43
My fundoscopy was done 7 days ago and everything was normal. I was asked to ignore my shadowy thread like floaters until I see lightning streaks in vision. Is it possible to see it only in laptop screens but nowhere else. How long does these streaks last? Lightning in the sky usually last 5 secs for us to notice. Help me understand whether I'm actually having a symptom of just plain scared. The floaters are becoming less and less bothersome but still see one or two pop up from time to time. I have 2-3 in left eye and 4-5 in right. Is it possible for me to even experience flashing?? PLEASE HELP!!!

Please don't concentrate over them. Just try to omit them. And since your retina is ok hence you need not to worry
