What Causes Eye Floaters, Flashes And Blurring Vision?

I have been seeing a bright flashing light only in my left eye on the left side at night when other lights are on. Also, occasionally a blurry tiny circle in the center of my field of vision at any time. This occurred suddenly and has continued for about a week now.

Floaters - flashes - blurring of vision , if events are in order, then u need to consult VITREO RETINAL SURGEON asap to rule out RETINAL DETACHMENT...

however if these are occurring often... Randomly.. Without any order, then its all age related degenerative changes...

Floaters & flashes : vitreous degenerations... Not at all worrisome... Present in most of people of your age group...

Blurring of vision : mostly due to presbyopia or cataract ... Which needs to be confirmed after an Ophthalmologist opinion... N better treated up too so as to get rid of it...
