What Causes Eye Floaters And Flashes?

I am 15 years old, 6 ft. tall, and 175 lbs. The last two days, whenever I stand up from a sitting position my eyes see brighter and I feel funny, almost like dizzy. I do not wear glasses, and as far as I know, do not have any blood pressure issues. Why is this happening?

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr Dadapeer k an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.

Floaters and flashes of light are usually because of problems involving the posterior segment of the eye and requires evaluation by indirect ophthalmoscopy, hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for this test.

Thank you
With regards
