Bleeding in the eye

[kerbeygrip]

I have had what appears to be bleeding into the left eye.  A series of black zig zags which dispersed leading a fog of blood cells for a few days which then cleared up.  This was accompanied by a flash sensation at the left of the left eye which remains.  I have no pain or pressure sensation.  My mother had a history of glaucoma.  Advice please.

Most common cause is posterior vitreous detachment. Use the search and archives to read about.

See an ophthalmologist. This is not typical of anything normal. You need your eyes examined with a full professional exam by an Eye MD. Try and get a hold of an on call Eye MD.
