Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I reviewed your history.
Flashes of light are because of problems involving the retina or vitreous and require evaluation by indirect ophthalmoscopy by your ophthalmologist.

Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
