Please help me?!!!!?

I have been pulling thread like, clear strings out of my eyes. My eyes constantly pains in the socket and sometimes feel as is something inside the socket is tightening. And most importantly, I've been having flashing in the peripheral. What's going on here? I've tried to explain the best I can, hopefully you can help.

This is called "mucous fishing syndrome" It has been discussed at length here. You can use the search feature and read all the information. You can also Google it and read about it. You need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist to begin treatment.

Is it something serious that i should worry about?
Not serious but difficult to treat especially if you keep "fishing" mucous out of the eye.
