Is this considered a flasher/flashes?

When I look my eye all the way to the right or left I noticea momentary light in the side of my vision, I can control it and make it happen at any time. Is this considered a flasher?

You may be seeing after effect of bright light on field of vision like looking a bright light & when blinking on less bright field seeing a small shadow of that light on field monentarily,usually colour of it may be reddish,pink or a similar colour of bright light source.

Its normal to experience such perception

flashes occur if you can experience bright sensation of light usually white in a dark room
