Spot in eye

[Devon82]

I have seen posts about bright after image type spots in the eye, however I still would love feedback on my situation since I am not sure what to do. The background is that I posted before about peripheral flashes and have had 2 dilated exams this year by a retinal specialist and then have also seen a neuro op. Eyes healthy no known cause for flashes we mentioned on here  vitreous tug (I’ve had this 4 years). However, I have an issue now that I’ve noticed over the last two months and do not know if this is a reason to go back or not as last exam was April. Every so often I have a day where it suddenly looks like I’ve looked at a light without there being a light. So then I have a persistent bright image that lasts for hours. It will fade some then brighten. I do not get migraines. I’m anxious but that’s about it healthy bloodwork etc. I just don’t know if I need to check it out or not. Thank you for your input!

We've talked about this in previous posts. you have had a full work up, unless something changes i would not worry. See one of the ophthalmologists at least yearly.   The most common thing that would cause what you describe is ophthalmic migraine WITHOUT headache.  All I can add.

Ok I’m sorry thank you I just didn’t bring this up to the eye md because I had not noticed this happening.

If you did NOT tell the neuro-ophthalmologist you should.
