i know i have to make an appoiment to check my eyes, but i want to know if you people have the same problems that I'm having, also when I rub my eyes right to the tear duct i see a dot of light in peripheral vision with my eyes open and closed.

The flashes of light in the dark with head movement is normal and due to vitreous traction. The floaters should be examined by an eye MD ophthalmologist. Pressure on the eye ball can create of spot of light from stimulation of the retina.
