Is Pain Behind Eye Followed By Flash Of White Light And Red Dots Serious?
a co-worker son who is 17 had to be picked up at school with a pain behind right eye and he saw a flash of white light and then he sat down in desk and saw red dots. He was off balance and staggering. Is it a migrain, sinsus, or maybe something worst a tumor?

Hello
It seems from the history that your co-worker's son is having headache and pain behind the eye and he has experienced symptoms of flashes of light and red dots.
These are commonly seen as a part of the aura of the migraine.
This looks like migraine hence I advice to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
