Im scared? eye troubles?

Question

so recently, randomly, not that often, id see faint dots for like 3 seconds. itll pop out of nowhere when im looking at something.

sometimes it wont even be dots, itll be just like a quick flash. its not that often and its somewhat faint, but i used to never get these at all.

i wear contacts btw, but ive been wearing them for a year about.

and just today my right eye hurts really bad and i dont remember hitting it at all.

what can this be??

Answer 1

The page at the source below will help you understand possible causes. But you really should see an Ophtalmologist to get a proper diagnosis. You only have two eyes. You need to preserve them.

You don't mention your age. But while floaters and flashers can be a sign of aging eyes, they can also be sign of several eye diseases. Some of which can lead to loss of vision, or even blindness.

Answer 2

They might be floaters. Most people get them ever so often.
