What are Flashes & Floaters?
Floaters are small, shadowy shapes that appear in your field of vision, often seen as spots, threads, or cobweb-like images. Flashes appear as flickers or streaks of light, mainly seen in peripheral vision. These symptoms can be subtle and are often noticed only in specific lighting conditions or backgrounds. They can signal changes within the eye that require professional evaluation to prevent more serious issues.
