bright flash
Lately i have floters they come and go, it could one or multiple.It has been a long time since my last episode. All of the sudden i am getting a flash in my left eye (in the corner) along with one floter. The flash appears when i turn my head, but not everytime i turn.

You need to go in tomorrow to see a retina specialist or at least an ophthalmologist. Flashes imply your retina is being pulled on by the jelly in the eye which puts you at risk for retinal tears and detachments. Don't ignore.

Thank you.. I went this morning and was seen by ophthalmologist. He said the retina is ok and that the flooters are pulling from the retina and sometimes it creates a flash...I have a follow up in three months.
