Frequent flashes of light
I had under gone barrage laser for retinal lattice with hole in both eyes. The green laser treatment is done two times in both eyes in a break of 10 days. After 1st treatment i used to see some floaters & no flashes of light, took antioxidant tablet and lubricating eye drop. After 10 days the 2nd treatment was carried out which i think a bit painfull in left eye where holes appeared more. After the 2nd the treatment in a span of 5 days i used to see flashes of light at the corner of left eye more in a day. Is this flashes of light continuing a danger sign or is it normal?
Please guide me
Floaters are common after laser which is due to pigment release. Laser could lead to posterior vitreous detachment which can be the cause of flashes. However, you need a complete retinal evaluation to rule out any unlasered tears or holes which can lead to further retinal problems.
