One of them, who shall remain nameless, removed it because it was "off-topic".
If one person saves their sight because they remember this post it will be worth it.

The important thing is get checked in case it is something more serious.

Last night my left eye showed a change in the "floaters" that have always been visible in it, and I experienced a semi circle of flashing lights. Having been through this a couple of years back I knew immediately what it was... vitreous detachment. Quite common, with usually no adverse affects. But in some cases it can lead to retinal detachment as well. The latter is very serious and often leads to complete vision loss in that eye.
So first thing this morning I was at my optician who saw me immediately. They confirmed there was no sign of retinal detachment, but I have to monitor it for a number of weeks as the vitreous detachment completes and if there are any changes to vision or flashing lights to go to the emergency department.
So I imagine this will be just like the other eye and all will be well. But if you ever experience this please do not hesitate to get yourself seen immediately. If the more serious retinal detachment occurs at the same time it can usually be operated on if detected in the first 24 hours. Leave it any longer and you may lose your sight.
