What Do Flashes Of Light In The Peripheral Vision Indicate?
Hi. On and off all day today, I've been seeing flashes of light out of the corner of my right eye. It is usually when I am turning my head from back to front, as if I had been looking over my shoulder, and am now turning to face forward. I've never experienced this before. Any idea what this could be caused by, and if it is something to be concerned about? Thanks for your input.
