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 Light Flashes In The Vision And Pain In The Eyes?
For the past several weeks, I have been experiencing flashes of light (crescent moon shape) around the peripheral of my right eye. Now I notice that my right eye hurts, kind of like when it gets rubbed too much, but I havent rubbed my eye and the pain is low, but constant.
Flashes of light in front of the eye can be due to various reasons like retinal detachment. I suggest you consult your ophthalmologist at the earliest without any delay.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shailja Puri , Pathologist and Microbiologist
