Floaters and flashes
I am having floaters from past 3 years and flashes from 4 months. Opthomologist had checked retina and said no issue. But as I am pregnant now I am afraid if there would be any issue with flashes. Please suggest how much time would it take for any retina tear to happen if flashes continues to exists.
