Floaters
I have had floaters all my life, but now I have benn getting rings and i think flashes, but they last for like 1 second. I also see little things in the light. What is this?

To be sure please make an appointment to see an Eye MD physician (ophthalmologist). Only an exam can give you the reassurances you need.

The flashes with the floaters, indicate a posterior vitreous detachment. Please view the many postings on PVD in the two eye forums. "Little things in the light", likelyis "entoptic phenomena" also many postings to read.
