Hello,
I suffred an eye injury in my left eye while playing rqcuetball 4 weeks back. I git a cut in my eye lid and corneal abrasion and suffered with a burst blood vessel in the eye. I went to ER and my vison was luckily fine. I followe up with a visit to my opthamlagist and was diagnosed with corneal abrasion, conjuctival hypermia. Fortunately did nt have any vision loss.
The only thing is that my opth told me that as the healing happens the retina could get pulled and I could see flashing lights/floaters. After 5 days of injury I started seeing flashig lights, I meediatelywent to opt who did not see any retinal tear or issue with retina. I was asked to come back in 2 weeks i I stil had flashing lights. I went back and again no problem with retina. I had visual field and Iwas told it was excellent.
Anyways now I have had 3 retinal dilations in one month and dr does not see any issue with retina, but I still have flashing lights every hr or so. I do not feel it when I a outdoors, notice it only indoors. Also one more thing, my left eye pressure has decreased 4-5 points after the injury. I am consistenly showing lower left eye pressure. Last reading: left:13, right:18
How long can I expect the flashing lights to go on? Will it go away on its own?
