Sudden floaters in one eye

Particularly if it occurs suddenly, flashing lights in your peripheral vision might be uncomfortable. Usually appearing as quick sparks, glittering lights, or even bursts of color in your field of vision, these white flashes in the corner of your eye cause worries.

Understanding the causes of such flashes, how they develop, and when one should see an eye care professional is vital.

What is Photopsia, and Why Would It Occur?

The broad name for visual problems marked by flickering lights, flashes, or shimmering forms devoid of any real external light source is photopsia.

Depending on the underlying cause, these light flashes—which commonly show up in the corner of your eye—may be fleeting or continuous.
