Light flash in the dark

Hi Doctor, after getting your advice I went to see my local ophthalmologist and learned more knowledge through Medhelp.org. Thank you so much to set up this website and offer us such an easy access to personal health care information.

One more question regarding the light flash in the dark after my occasional rapid eye movement. You know PVD may mechanically pull retina then cause tear or even detachment. If such activities as big sneeze, rapid eye movement can make eye muscles tug on retina, do you think high myopia person (both more than 1,000 before operation) with LASIC history like me should, I mean from prudent perspective, try best to avoid or intentionally reduce those kind of activities which can lead to mechanical pull of tetina. OR it is normal and i don't need to have anxiety.

I know I could be extreme risk adverse man, however I have no choice because of my eye situation and my responsibility for my family. You know I can't imagine if I get retina detachment, How can I make career and care my family (i am 31 years old). I want to understand as much as possible to preventively control that risk. Meanwhile in China many doctors maybe don't have enough knowledge and cases to support their diagnostic.

I will go USA to work for a period of time. Do you think i can have one comprehensive eye check and conduct 360 retina problems assessment. I really need one complete checklist to tell me how i need to take care of my eyes from preventive, detective and corrective ways in both work and life.

Thank you so much Doctor. I know this is too long message and consume you time.
