Why Am I Seeing A Flash Of Gold Light From Left Eye?
Hi, I am a 46 year old female. I am seeing a flash of gold light from my left eye, it's not from the front. I can be looking straight ahead and see it from the left side? Do you have a clue of what this is, it's been happening for 4 days now, but not all the time.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I reviewed your history.
The symptoms of seeing flashes of light require evaluation to look for retinal problems like retinal tears or posterior vitreous detachment.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for indirect ophthalmoscopy to look for these problems and treatment accordingly.
Hope this answers your question and the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
