Flashes of light

2020-08-31 15:19:34
I had done barrage laser for retinal lattice with multiple holes 1 month ago, i used to see some light at the corner of the left eye but the doctor told me jelly is pulling that is why you are noticing it. But after a month i used to see flashes round of the peripheral vision sometime. Recently on 27.08.202 i had visited the nearest opthomologist for irritation in eyes. He used microscopic examination for the irritation. He said the healing is completed now. But this flashes are giving a nervous feeling. Please guide me in this regard.

Once the retinal healing is complete, flashes will go away after sometime. Till then just ignore them and don’t be nervous

Hi ... Generally,  flashes indicate some kind of pull on the retina by the jelly inside. In this situation , we need to do a Retina checkup. Since you have already done a retina treatment and under doctors care ...should be ok...they will settle down slowly.
Next Steps
Be under the care of your retina doctor do report to him/ her ..any sudden increase in flashes, floaters or a curtain like thing coming in front .
