Have you been seeing “stars?” As we get older, the vitreous, or clear gel that fills our middle eye, can shrink and pull away from the Retina. When this happens you may notice what look like “stars” or flashing lights, which could be a sign of a Detached Retina, a serious sight threatening eye condition. If you ever experience seeing what look like “stars,” please call High Country Macula immediately to rule out possible causes including a Detached Retina, a Retinal Tear, or symptom of another emergency.
