Suggest Treatment For Flashes In The Eyes

Hi, Sometimes I see a halo of flashing and dancing light around the edges of my vision. It stays for about 15 minutes and then goes away and everything is normal. This started more than 10 years ago. It used to happen once or twice a year and then the frequency sometimes increased.
