Hello. I recently wen't to the eye Doctor because of some sharp stabbing pain in my eyes, some stabbing pain in my eyebrow area of my face, as well as soreness in my eyes. The pain wasn't very hard it was like a level 4 out of 10 but since it was with me for about a week I started to worry. The Doctor said that my eyes were fine. Maybe I had dry eyes and since I also suffer from anxiety maybe this just made the symptoms worse. However I forgot to ask my doctor a question and hoped maybe ya'll could help me. I have noticed that sometimes (Usually when I'm about to go to sleep) when I close my eyes I see flashes in 4 flash intervals. I usually have a total of 4 to 5 of these ocurrences lasting for about 1 minute per night in total. I also sometimes see colored or white light "blotches" with my eyes closed. I have read seeing flashes with eyes closed are normal but I was just wondering if what I am describing also fits in this normal category and if so why do I see this?
