For the past 4 days or so I'm occasionally seeing this very bright dot of light in the centre of my vision of my left eye (once or twice a day, maybe right eye too but less noticeable). Lasts maybe 30 secs and as if I looked at something very bright and it's an afterimage. But I haven't looked at anything bright.
What could it be? Anything to worry about?
No idea. Maybe ask an optician if you're that concerned?Quote:

I'll wait until (and if) it happens again to see if definitely occurring in both eyes. I have been either staring at my monitor or TV when it occurs.
I think its your eye letting in light , sometimes that happens , then it goes away .
When did you have an eye test last ?
July 2019. My left eye was thoroughly examined via various tests at that time as I was seeing an arc of white light on eye movement (nothing found wrong). Still there, it's quite a bit fainter than it was, but now clearly part of a ring. Could be a connection.
Should also mention I suffer from "silent migraines" and had 7 in past month (normally occur about once every 6 months or so). They're very different though lasting 30 mins with scintillating scotoma. Not a 30 sec after-image light thing. But there might be a connection I suppose.
Hi, do you still get that symptom?
