Flash of Light

Hi, I'm a 32 year old female, 21 weeks pregnant ... have some annoying floaters in both eyes, dormant histoplasmosis and today I saw a bright lighting bolt across the vision in my left eye (I believe it was this eye) .... what could this be?  Could this be stress or an early warning sign of something else?

Thanks for your time

Dear Jonezy16,

I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD.  There are conditions in which visual symptoms occur such as preeclampsia, high blood pressure, diabetes, activation of presumed ocular histoplasmosis.
