What Causes Eye Floaters In The Left Eye?

I am having strange flashes of light when I move my left eye directly left or right. The flashes are circular and consistent. Every time I move my eye to the far right or far left the light flashes for a fraction of a second. It is not a burst blood vessel as I have had that before and this is not the same. What is this?
