I have been noticing round, bright, flashes of light in my left eye that comes from the outside corner and seems to rotate around the eye. The flash seems like a car headlight shown through a window and just hit the far left corner of my left eye and then seems to go around the circumfrance of the eye-ball either counter-clockwise or clockwise. However, it can't be a headlight because of the window placement. I notice it more at night while watching TV in the dark. It is in the same spot that the eye doctor said I had a cateract developing when I had an eye exam in June of 2013. The eye doctor said I could "wait a year." My vision has degraded in my left eye over the last few years. If I close my left eye and try to see with my right eye, it is much clearer for viewing far. If I close my right eye, my left eye has pretty good vision close-up, but away is very blurry. The eye doctor also noticed this. He said I didn't need glasses except for driving because of my left eye. I am retiring on disability from HHS/OCR and have been very depressed. I started lexapro in August 2013 and was recently diagnosed witrh Asperger's. It will take nearly a year for a check if I am approved, and money is tight. Any advice?
