Brief Answer: .... Detailed Answer: Hi ..... Thanks for writing in... Although most cases of floaters and flashes in the eye are benign( harmless), I would definitely advise you to visit an ophthalmologist as early as possible and get certain serious conditions like retinal detachment etc ruled out. If after a visual examination, everything is ok, you can be assured that it is just part of aging. Migraine headaches are sometimes accompanied by visual aura like flashes, but are generally bilateral. Hope this information was helpful to you. Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
