Confused abput flashes
Dear doctors, I have recently been diagnosed with liquifaction in the vitreous and i see black floaters. I am a software professional as well,so i try to follow 20-20-20 and lubrication eye drops. I also take antiox tablet gloeye as recommended by my doctor. Last month only i had a dilated eye exam and i was cleared for any retinal pathology. Although i have been instructed to rush back if i see flashes of light or lightening in my vision. Although, i am confused about this. I rarely see light or lightening streak, although sometimes when im too engrossed in work and making rapid eye movements i sometimes feel like i microblinked, though i did not actually blink. I blink a lot though and my eye lids also twitch a lot. Its like the sensation of blinking in vision without really properly blinking. Though there is no light involved. Is that or can that be flashing? I just had an examination a month ago? Should i rush back bcz of this? Is what i am feeling flashes at all ???!!! Please help

All this seems to be out of anxiety. Please take it easy .perform yoga.and consume lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. Don't sit facing the ac or blowers . Even if the problem persists then definitely have a detailed fundus examination done.
