Eye Flashes: definition

phenomena that

  1. can originate in the eye when the vitreous gel pulls on or separates from the retina such as during or after a posterior vitreous detachment or
  2. from the visual centers of the brain such as what sometimes occurs before a migraine headache.

Any sudden onset of flashes of light should be evaluated promptly by your eye doctor.
