Flashes of light
I had done barrage laser for retinal lattice with multiple holes 1 month ago, i used to see some light at the corner of the left eye but the doctor told me jelly is pulling that is why you are noticing it. But after a month i used to see flashes round of the peripheral vision sometime. Recently on 27.08.202 i had visited the nearest opthomologist for irritation in eyes. He used microscopic examination for the irritation. He said the healing is completed now. But this flashes are giving a nervous feeling. Please guide me in this regard.

Hi ... Generally,  flashes indicate some kind of pull on the retina by the jelly inside. In this situation , we need to do a Retina checkup. Since you have already done a retina treatment and under doctors care ...should be ok...they will settle down slowly.
Next Steps
Be under the care of your retina doctor do report to him/ her ..any sudden increase in flashes, floaters or a curtain like thing coming in front .
