Retinal Tears and Detachments

Flashing lights and floater
The flashing lights are caused by the vitreous gel pulling on the retina or a looseness of the svitreous, which allows the vitreous gel to bump against the retina
The floaters are caused by condensations (small solidifications) in the vitreous gel and described by patients as spots, strands, or little flies
flashing lights and floaters may often be unassociated with a tear or detachment and can merely result from a separation of the vitreous gel from the retina.
This condition is called a posterior vitreous detachment PVD
