In this video, I'll explain in detail what to do if you experience lightning, flashes, sparks, or bright arcs in your eyes, especially if this occurs in the dark, when moving your eyes, or after age 40 or 50. These flashes are often associated with natural changes in the vitreous humor. It gradually changes structure, pulls away from the retina, and the retina can perceive this tension as a light signal. This is why a person sees a flash, even though there's no actual light source in front of the eyes.
But it's important to understand: this isn't always safe. In some cases, similar symptoms can be associated with a retinal tear or the onset of retinal detachment. Then, the timeline isn't weeks, but the next few hours or days.
Timecodes:
00:00 - Where do flashes of light inside the eye come from?
01:39 - What is posterior vitreous detachment?
02:18 - Why is lightning more often visible in the dark and when moving your eyes?
03:34 - Why do floaters often appear after lightning?
04:49 - How does a retinal tear occur?
06:06 - How is a retinal detachment different from a vitreous detachment?
07:26 - What is vitreous detachment?
08:13 - Does vitreous detachment affect vision?
08:32 - Can it be prevented with drops or exercises?
09:16 - What should I do after lightning flashes?
09:59 - These flashes are usually harmless
10:23 - What types of lightning can indicate a retinal tear?
11:31 - What does a dark curtain in front of my eye mean?
12:56 - A simple algorithm: when to observe and when to urgently see a doctor
13:18 - What should I do if I can't get to the hospital right away?

Через десятки лет я догадалась, что глаз мой не видит, ему не помогают диоптрии - оказалось ВМД.
Мушки появились очень давно, задолго ДО....
ВМД не лечится, но я радуюсь даже тому, что ,,мушки" я вижу моим правым глазом - это значит, что состояние
стабилизировало сь, (благодаря улучшению притока крови, я так думаю 🤔
