Eye Disorder

I started having flashes of light in my peripheral vision of right eye 2 weeks ago.  A few days ago I started having brown squiggles in my lower vision and now seems to come and go throughout the day in my total eye area.  I went to my optometrist yesterday and my eye was dilated.  She said I had many floaters but didn't feel like she saw any other problems.  I am just kind of concerned as the squiggles are quite bothersome, seem to be irritated by light and seem to affect my walking somewhat.  Do you have any ideas or thoughts about these symptoms?  Thanking you for your response.

Dear louloou55,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD specializing in retina to reassess the status of your retina.  These symptoms can sometimes indicate a serious retinal issue such as retinal detachment.
