floaters and flashing lights

[rusty1943]

What is the best way to prevent a detached retina?  I am 65 and have high bloodpressure.  Both floaters and flashing lights appeared one day following strenous dancing.  Should I avoid fast dancing?      Thank you for your response.       Rusty1943

NO

I just had all the test and was told to return in one month since there are not any tears in my retina yet.    Will  a normal blood pressure stop these vision floaters and  flashes?   Thanks, Rusty 1943

1. Yearly eye exam by an Eye MD ophthalmologist.
2. Dance as fast as your wish.
3. Keep your BP under good control.
