What Causes Light Flashes In The Vision And Pain In The Eyes?
For the past several weeks, I have been experiencing flashes of light (crescent moon shape) around the peripheral of my right eye. Now I notice that my right eye hurts, kind of like when it gets rubbed too much, but I havent rubbed my eye and the pain is low, but constant.

Hello,
Flashes of light in front of the eye can be due to various reasons like retinal detachment. I suggest you consult your ophthalmologist at the earliest without any delay.
