Hello patient! The symptoms you describe are probably due to a “flashing sensation” caused by the pulling of the retina by the vitreous humor. With age or myopia, the vitreous humor may degenerate, and the originally clear gel-like vitreous humor may become cloudy after liquefaction, partially concentrated, partially hydrated, and the concentrated vitreous humor may pull on the retina and cause a discharge phenomenon, or “flashing sensation”. During this process, if a hole in the retina develops, the liquefied vitreous body can enter the hole and cause retinal detachment. Once a retinal detachment occurs, it usually does not return to normal. Therefore, you are not currently experiencing a retinal detachment. However, you need to be alert, especially if you find dark shadows in a certain direction or a certain quadrant of the field of vision or an increased sense of flash when you see something, please be sure to go to the doctor so that timely detection and early correct treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to dilate the pupil to check the fundus of the eye.
