Flashes & floaters are dark or clear lines or spots that appear in the peripheral vision. This is caused by changes in the vitreous gel in the back of the eye, also known as posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
Eye flashes & floaters can be visible at any age. For children and young adults who are short-sighted, flashes & floaters may be visible and monitored by the opticians. Although you may experience flashes & floaters, it is rare to be given a diagnosis for an eye condition as these floaters are generally nothing to worry about in early adulthood. For people over the age of 50, flashes & floaters may indicate early signs of more serious eye conditions. If you are over the age of 50 and experiencing eye flashes & floaters, please contact 0208 447 8877 for a private eye assessment with an ophthalmologist.
A retinal detachment is when the retina (a layer in your eye) separates from the back of the eye. This can cause vision loss and lead to permanent blindness.
It is always best to visit your local opticians for a routine eye check. Our ophthalmologist will be able to diagnose flashes & floaters and monitor its condition with our clinic facilities. Our specialists will be able to determine if a treatment referral is required.
Eye flashes & floaters may get worse with age.
