If you experience sudden flashes of light, be sure to see your Retinologist at HCM right away.
Flashes are pinpricks or spots of light that appear in your field of vision. People often refer to them as “shooting stars” or “lightning streaks.” Occasional flashes are usually harmless, but sudden or repeated flashes of light could be a sign that your Retina has torn or detached, which must be treated quickly to prevent blindness.
