Floaters are little black dots or lines that float in front of your vision.
Flashes are flashes of light that may happen in one or both eyes either in front of your eyes or to the side of your vision.
Both can be a normal finding for older patients or patients with higher prescriptions; however, they may also be indicative of a larger retinal issue. Therefore, if you notice any new floaters or flashes definitely make an appointment with your eye doctor soon!
