What Causes An Eye Pulled Muscle With Flashing And Pulling?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...hi, I have been experiencing what feels like I ve pulled a muscle on the outer side of my left eye. When it occurs, I get flashes in the eye. It s like a quick pull and occurs at random times - even when just waking up. Any thoughts on what this could be? I m 50 years old, have a minor nearsighted correction and am on blood pressure meds (which has been stable for years on the meds)m. Thank you!
