Hi, just wondered if anyone had experienced this before? I'm starting to get concerned about it now.
I've had floaters for ages so I know what they look like. I also know what blue entoptic phenomenon is and what I am about to describe is neither of those.
Anyway, from time to time I see what I can only describe are tiny bright pin prick type flashes. They can be anywhere in my field of vision, usually not in direct line of sight though. The flash happens for a split second and if I had to describe it further I would say that it looks like a tiny little camera flash going off in my field of vision. I am short-sighted and wear lenses but have noticed this with or without glasses/lenses or when I am un-aided.
The gaps between seeing these tiny little things used to be quite large but now I'm seeing them fairly often. My doc has never heard of anything like that but I'm thinking of booking an appointment with my optician. Since feb this year I've had my eyes checked by a few docs and a neurologist and they never mentioned anything but to be fair I wasn't complaining of this then. It was muscle symptoms after a flu like virus and more recently dizziness which seems almost constant.
Anyway, any responses appreciated.
