Our Cheshire specialists provide advanced expertise to discern the subtleties of these visual anomalies and offer precision care when needed.
Decoding Flashes and Floaters
Flashes and floaters can be unsettling, so let’s decode them. Floaters are small, shadowy shapes that drift in your line of sight. These are often caused by tiny clumps of gel or cells in the vitreous — the clear, jelly-like substance that fills the inside of your eye.
Flashes, on the other hand, appear as sudden bursts of light or lightning streaks in your peripheral vision. They occur when the vitreous gel pulls or tugs on the retina, stimulating it in an unusual way.
Floaters are very common and often harmless, while flashes are less common and may indicate a more serious eye condition.
