Flashes of light after RD laser repair.
On 26 july 2013 I had Retinal detachment laser therapy with barrage laser. After that laser treatment i started getting flashes of light downside of left vision. After 2 weeks I rushed to retinal specialist. He told everything is fine. Still after 2 weeks i got change in the pattern of flashes. Again i rushed to eye hospital. Doctors said we got perfect result of barrage laser and i don't thing it will again detach from that portion. But you need regular checkup in every 6 months. Now again change in flashes pattern flashes size reduced but it last long upto 2-3 sec. I fear of a new tear or hole. What is the possibility ?

It is certainly possible to have another retinal tear in that eye or the other eye. If the flashes are accompanied by sudden new or increased floaters, then I would see the retina specialist again. If you have a brief flash of light with no new floaters, I do not feel that you need an immediate exam.
I am 24 years old. And i have number -6 in both eyes.
