What Causes Flashing Lights In Vision?

I had an episode of a visual problem. my central vision was fine, but I had flashing lights of black, blue, white and silver is a sort of undulating herring bone pattern. It was worse in bright light, almost like there was more reflection. It lasted 10 minutes, then stopped as quickly as it started.

Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your concern

“As” per your clinical history is concerned the problem which you have described looked like [Vitreous Degeneration]so to confirm it you need a physical examination by your local ophthalmologist in your area and take treatment soon.

Hope that helps
