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 Could Vision Of Flashes From Corner Of Right Eye With Itchiness Indicate?
Last night when I turned off the light to go to bed, I saw persistent flashes out of the corner of my right eye, which has been itchy of late. I read this morning that that may be retinal detachment, but later today, I locked myself in a dark room for a few minutes and no flashes occured. Can these symptoms self-correct? Please advise.
Local pressure on the eye triggers the nerves and causes flashing lights. This can be after rubbing it; and not serious rubbing; not rubbing causing retinal detachment but just rubbing. Can be with glaucoma, migraine, or detachment, can't say.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
