This causes the retina to pull away from the blood vessels that provide it with oxygen and nourishment, resulting in vision loss. A retinal detachment can occur when the vitreous, a gel-like fluid inside the eye, leaks through a retinal hole or tear and collects beneath the retina at the back of the eye. My online searches, using reliable sites like the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, revealed that light flashes are a symptom of a retinal tear or detachment. So I alternately closed my eyes to avoid seeing the light and searched on my phone for what could be causing the flashes. These looked different and continued well beyond 20 minutes.īecause I was riding in the backseat of a car with my younger daughter driving on very dark, unfamiliar, winding rural roads in the rain, I didn't want to say anything that might add to anyone's stress.
My auras last precisely 20 to 23 minutes and appear like a tunnel of light. I thought it might be a migraine aura, but I've had those in the past, and this seemed different. Each flash was quick, and the time between flashes varied. They popped up on the right side of my field of vision and sort of leaped at a right angle across the top of my sight.
Saturday night I started seeing flashes of light that looked like lightning. I recently had successful emergency laser surgery to prevent a retinal tear and possible retinal detachment, and I'm sharing my experience to help others recognize the symptoms that could save your vision.

Before pandemic people would remind me that I had met them for dinner the month before - & I would have no memory of it. Am not sure about memory lapses since I don't remember what I don't remember. However it has started again this January. I would blame the memory issues on the sleep deprivation, but they continued after the sleep deprivation resolved.Īfter 2 years of this my memory went back to normal ! Which I do not do.Īlso sometimes I see bright white light which wakes me up.Īlso I don't think it's coincidence - 2x now - when I start seeing the light/shapes I also start having memory lapses and I believe some kind of sleep deprivation (perhaps REM or Deep Sleep).
The article only talks about these reactions through meditation. I see this but only when facing the bright sun (with my eyes closed).
It also describes " In a bright room, a dark red can be seen". I don't mind seeing light/shapes when it is dark.
