Lattice degeneration
Hello
Recently I went to an eye MD for a check-up. I was diagnosed with lattice degeneration in both eyes. I had also been complaining about floaters and flashes. The MD checked my eye thorougly and said no treatment is required; come back again for a regular check up after 6 months.
My question is; is it okay to be witnessing an occassional flash once in a while with lattice degeneration? Will the flashes disappear after some time or will my condition get worse?

But doctor, the MD said there are'nt any tears or holes; so is it okay that i'm seeing these flashes? Please forgive me, i have'nt completely understood your previous post.

Yes, if you develop a tear you will usually experience a change in floaters and flashes.
Flashes usually get better in time.
