Expert Solutions for Flashes and Floaters
Have you ever seen flashing lights or floaters in your vision? These visual disturbances can be alarming, but they are often harmless. Our ReFocus Eye Health specialists in Bloomfield investigate the root cause of your floaters or flashes, ensuring optimal eye health and clear vision.
Understanding Eye Flashes and Floaters
Flashes are streaks of light in your vision, even when your eyes are closed. They are caused by the vitreous, the gel-like substance that fills the inside of your eye, pulling or rubbing against the retina.
Floaters are small specks, cobwebs, or strings you see floating in your vision. They are also caused by the vitreous. As you age, the vitreous shrink and pull away from the retina. This can cause the vitreous to become cloudy and cast shadows on the retina.
Exploring the Underlying Causes
Understanding the causes of these visual disturbances is crucial for timely intervention. The primary factors include:
