I just got over the flu and now I have intermittant flashing in both eyes?

Question

I also have a pretty bad headache. This has never happened to me before and it's the weirdest thing. I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow but, should I be worried? Anyone had something similar happen to them?

Answer 1

Flashing may mean a retinal detachment. Are you nearsighted? Did you injure your eyes at all in the last little while? Are you over or around 50 years old? If you said yes to a few of those questions, it is probably a retinal detachment. It may or may not be serious, and its good you are going to the doctor's tomorrow.

Take care!
