Flashes of light week aft barrage laser
I had a previous history of high myopia -6 in both eyes and lattice + in my retina . Recently I had undergone barrage laser in both of my eyes . My right eye had 1 small hole and the left eye had 3-4 small holes but before the laser I had no symptoms of flashes. It's been 8 days after the surgery and now I am noticing the flashes in both my eyes. These flashes are not permanent but are occurring frequently and causing irritation in my eyes. Even when I sleep the left eye continues to flicker for some duration as the lights are off I can clearly see the flickering. Are these flashes normal and a sign of eyes healing ? Or is there anything to be worried about ? After how much time these flashes will go away or will they remain permanent. My vision is normal no blurriness is there even the floaters are less but these flashes are scaring me.
