When Are Eye Flashes, Floaters And Seeing Double Dangerous Or Harmful To You?

If you have medium sized floaters that suddenly increase in intensity and are accompanied by flashes of lightning to your side vision then you need to get in right away with your eye doctor to make sure you're not having a retinal problem. Likewise, any sudden onset of seeing double should be addressed quickly to rule out serious medical conditions such as stroke, diabetes, tumor, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or other problems.

Black, squiggly floaters in your vision with lights that seem to jump in your side vision really should be looked at by an eye care physician. Random black dots in the eyes that drift when you move them and quick flashes of light to the sides could be a sign of retina problems in one out of seven people who suffer with these symptoms.

If you have had the unfortunate diagnosis of a retinal detachment or tear you will get peace of mind if you're seen quickly by a good retinal specialist.
