Causes of flashes in your vision. As the vitreous âgelâ within your eye shrinks, it may pull on the retina (the focusing surface at the back of your eye). If the retina is peeled away from the back of the eye, it can cause flashes of light in your vision to occur. A retinal tear or detached retina is a serious and potentially sight-threatening condition.
The large cavity of the eye is filled with a jelly like substance called vitreous. When we are born it is attached to the back surface of the eye, the retina. As we age the vitreous shrinks. So at some point it has to separate from the retina. This can irritate the retina and cause flashing lights. It can also result in floating spots in our vision. This is because the vitreous surface that was against the retina is now floating in the center of the eye casting a shadow. Most of the time (99+%) this does not cause a problem.
