Floaters and flashes

2017-11-27 03:49:32
I had my retina examined 20 days ago ( i had few floaters then ,no flashes) . Yesterday i just saw a flash in my eye ( though i am not sure because it was very quick ) . On my last visit , i had superior lattice in that eye . is it sure that this flash is an indicator of something like hole/tear??
