Flashes of light after internal bleeding in the eye?
Hello!
A few weeks ago I had an internal bleeding in my eye due to a sports accident. Everything was treated and I had to take eye drops for a while, but not anymore.
For a while, my eye seemed to be recovering, but now for about five days, I've been seeing flashes of light every now and then (sometimes only when I close my eye). It seems to me that these only occur when I make a certain movement. I also see floaters ("worms" in my field of vision; I had them as a small child, too).
Since my ophthalmologist is currently on vacation and I am having a hard time getting an appointment with another ophthalmologist, I wanted to ask if the flashes of light are related to some kind of wound in my eye or if there could be other reasons?
Thanks for your answers 🙂

Hello,
Please go to an eye clinic, but immediately. It can be retinal detachment.
I don't want to scare you, but light flashes can be symptoms of retinal detachment, which would be an ophthalmic emergency.
I would now call the 116117 and let myself be advised if the trip to an eye clinic is needed emergency.
Otherwise, tomorrow morning at eight at the next best ophthalmologist.
I'm only 16 and just at home, the flashes of light don't happen too often, and I don't have the Mouches Volantes, I guess I'll be able to go to the doctor sooner.
Cookie is right now: NOW immediately
The retina dissolves.
