Flashes after Laser surgery
One week after laser surgery I started having arc or circle shaped flashes in treated eye. These were not present before surgery. It then increased in frequency for next 2-3 days and now the frequency started decreasing. Can someone explain this phenomenon? and how these flashes developed after surgery?
I read on numerous posts that after laser there is local viterous traction on site of tear. What is the reason behind this traction after laser? I had no traction before tear as I was seeing no flashes but these flashes happened after laser.

It contracts like a burn. The laser is intense heat. Usually the flashes stop within a couple of months but people on this forum report them lasting for years. Discuss with your surgeon.
Use the search feature and archives. It is a common question and common observation. usually due to contraction of the retina from the laser burn. Do report it to your surgeon.

you mean retina shortens after laser? How long does this contraction lasts?
