Flashing Light

 

 

Today I noticed a flashing light in my eye.

 

I would be grateful if anyone could suggest something that

could clear this.

 

Thank you

I've a similar experience. A few years back, after rubbing my eye

vigorously, I experienced powerful flashes of lights in my left eye. These

flashing lights continued for a short time, and eventually subsided. I

continued to experience these flashes, much diminished, late at night, when

departing with my car, pulling out of a dark driveway. They continued to

diminish. I'm not aware of them anymore.
