Eye Floaters, Flashes and Rainbow
Few months back I had a sudden pain in my eye with blinking vision. my optometrist told me I had nothing but dry eyes. I was on antidepressants for a month. From June I noticed a lot of floaters in my eyes which increased day by day and noticed some flashes last week. I went to 2 retina specialist and have done a few test with dialated eye exams. Everything seemed normal and I was given Tears Naturale forte. Currently I have floaters, flashes(at night) and halos around street lights. I am very anxious for this. Please suggest me what should I do.

Hi, may I know your glass prescription?
Since you said, dilated fundus examination was done by a retina specialist, I think it can be liquifaction of vitreous gel, which you need not be worried of.
Try to avoid focussing on it a lot.
Sometimes visual hallucinations can be there, as u mentioned you are on anti depressants.
Next Steps
Meet a neurologist if symptoms worsen
