Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Appearance Of Streaks Of Light In Eye?
Last few days I have been seeing light streaks out of my left eye. Mainly at night. I have had floaters but never anything like this. If I turn head quickly, I get them. Don t last to long. It is almost like seeing a mild lightening show. It occurs side, top bottom of eye. Could this be a retina problem?
As per my clinical experience, the streaks of light at night may indicate possible visual hallucination most likely. However, an Ophthalmologist evaluation is necessary to find out any abnormal pathology inside.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
