un-answered question

i am 31 years old and use glasses for long distance ( very low miopia almost 0.5 in both eyes). i already have floaters since 4 years ago. but lately i have been seeing pin point flashes whenever i look at anything white or birght. the retina doctor did the dilate exam ( i had two opinions) but both we very sure that there is nothing abnormal.
What would be the reason for the pinpoint flashes and how long it will last and is there a way to get rid of them. it bothers me a lot.

thank you very much

Are you describing a starburst?  If so, it could be related to something in the cornea or lens.

i do not know what is starburst, however, what i actually and exactly see aside from floaters are''points ( flashing and moving around when i look at bright and white backgrounds or in the horizon(sky)." however, at night, and in dim light i almost 90% do not see them at all.

no one can find an answer to my case! can you help
