Floaters in eye

2018-01-16 15:02:47
I once experienced floaters flashing constantly in the outer corner of my right eye for a period of around 15-20 mins. It didn't stop even when I tried closing my eyes but later it subsided on its own. Same thing occurred again after around 2 weeks. Please help.

Hello Flashes suggest vitreous traction on retina Floaters associated with Flashes could be due to posterior vitreous detachment Having said that, I would recommend you to consult local ophthalmologist and get retina examined
