What Causes Flashes Of Light In The Field Of Vision?
My mother is 89 and lives in another state by herself. She is healthly, but has macular degeneration in her eyes. I want to bring her to live with us, but she doesn t like cold weather. Problem is...she believes someone is flashing blue burning lights, orange laser lights, motion detectors at her thru the blinds, curtains etc. Her mind is sharp but this seems unquestionable as no has seen anyone outside and the police won t come anymore. Would her eye sight have anything to do with these strange lights.
