Hi. I've been dealing with recurring flashes in my left eye, and have been working with a doctor who is monitoring them. However, it's after hours right now, and I just experienced some flashes with a simultaneous shadow in a different part of my eye, and I'm not sure if this means I've got a tear or not. The flashes always occur in the outside corner of my eye, while the shadow appeared across the lower left corner and bottom of my eye. The shadow appeared at the exact same time as the flash, and disappeared when the flash stopped. I haven't noticed any immediate changes in my vision, like blurring or more shadows or grayed vision, so I'm not sure if I need to seek emergency services. I'd appreciate feedback!
