What Do Flashes Of Light In Vision Indicate?
Hi.
I'm 19 and nearsighted. Recently I have noticed flashes when I rapidly move my eyes. I have also noticed what looks like an orb with wave lines in it. I see both on the left. When I was younger I used to get migrains a lot. Any idea what it could be?

If you are myopic and having flashes of light. It indicates problem in retina. This is a danger sign which may be due to retinal traction. You must immediately consult ur ophthalmologist and get your retina examined.
