Does A Freckle On Retina Cause Lines In Eyes?

Hi, my name is Sharyn. I have a freckle on my retina, I have it checked yearly and so far all is ok, but over the last 3 to 4 months I've had a couple of zig zag lines happening in my left eye, it only lasts for about 10 to 15 minutes, no pain at all but obviously a nusciance. Could this be caused by my freckle????
Thank you
Sharyn

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having freckle on retina and you are having symptom of seeing zig zag lines.
This requires evaluation to look for complications like retinal tear, retinal detachment, vitreous degenerations...
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly depending on the cause.

Thank you
