1. You need to get an Opthalmologist opinion since history of flashes of light and floaters points to retinal detachment but there is also SUDDEN loss of vision (not present) so one has to look for other features like diabetes,hypertension.

2. Opthalmologist after careful examination with Opthalmoscope and proper evaluation will guide you the best possible treatment and management.
