Flashes abd floaters

2019-06-27 14:13:38
Hello, i am 26 years old and was diagnosed with pvd in last march and ever since i take very good care of my eyes. I take amtioxidant capsules daily use 2020 rule and avoid straining my eyes. I still have the black floaters that i see from time to time. In April i once experienced something like flashing and the light was intense just for one time. My doctor asked me to come rushing back if i see flashes very frequently. But everything went back to normal after that and i didnt experience anything so i waited for six months for another dilated check up. But today after almost three months i experienced something very similar again while working but the light was very very muted and slight like barely there. It was so slight that i almost missed it and nothing like when it first happened, and if i was not so paranoid I would have missed it altogether. But now i am scared, can flashing lights be so dimmed and muted that u don't even understand, shld i rush to doctors or should i wait?

Hello Please don't worry. Flashes are usually not that faint
