Facebook Twitter

Eye flashes are brief bursts of light that appear in a person's field of vision. They can be seen as small, bright, moving dots or lines, and they may be white or a range of colors. Eye flashes can be caused by several factors, including:
1.

Mechanical stimulation: Sometimes eye flashes can be caused by mechanical stimulation of the retina, such as rubbing the eyes or a blow to the head.
2. Migraines: Migraines can cause eye flashes, as well as other visual disturbances, such as blind spots or zigzag lines.
3. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD): PVD is a condition that occurs when the gel-like substance in the eye called the vitreous separates from the retina. This separation can cause eye flashes and other symptoms, such as floaters or blurred vision.
