Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Bright Streaks Of Light In The Field Of Vision?
I have flickering, prism-like lights around the periphery of my vision. I have had this off and on for months and did go to San ophthalmologist who did not seem to think this was a problem. Tonite it seems to be intense for whatever reason. Is this an emergency?
Retinal or vitreous related problems must be ruled out. Consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated. A slit lamp examination is required to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
