Expert Solutions for Flashes and Floaters
Imagine reading your favorite book and experiencing sudden flashes of light or small specks floating across the page, interrupting your focus. These are eye flashes and floaters, common yet often unsettling occurrences. Our team can assist you in managing these visual disturbances effectively.
Flashes and Floaters Explained
Floaters appear as tiny, shadowy specks, cobweb-like lines, or small rings drifting in your field of vision. They occur when the vitreous gel inside your eye shrinks or clumps. These floaters cast shadows on your retina, creating the illusion of specks drifting across your vision.
Flashes are sudden bursts of light that flicker in your peripheral vision. These flashes can occur due to the tugging or pulling on the retina, usually caused by the shrinking vitreous gel inside the eye.
What Causes These Disturbances?
The vitreous gel changes consistency as we age, leading to floaters and occasional flashes. However, some factors can increase your risk of these visual disturbances:
- Trauma to the eye.
- Retinal detachment.
- Diabetic retinopathy.
- Certain types of migraines.
If you experience a sudden increase in floaters and flashes, seeking immediate medical attention is essential, as it could indicate a more serious eye condition.
