sparks & stars

Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed with Glaucoma about 2 years ago ,overall my vison is pretty good so far but Glaucoma has  developed slightly in left eye.There are certain times when I see sparks and stars .It usually happens when  i am doing some sort of suddent exercise in gym like picking up a weight and dropping it suddenly.There is an element of jerk involved wheneever I push my body to do some suddent and hard stuff . These sparks in front of my eye will stay for a while ( A minute or so ) and then everything will be normal .
Any ideas ?
