Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury following which you are seeing light from the corner of eyes. This is called as flashed of light.
Since you give history of injury following which you are seeing flashes of light injury to the retina needs to be ruled out.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
