go see a neurologist. get an mri scan. it could be nothing. it could be something. but don't take it casually. get in touch with your family physician and see if he can recommend a neurologist who could diagnose what you have.

Do you have floaters? Floaters will appear as little black specks in your vision. If you have those and are seeing the bright flashes of light then you really need to get to a doctor as soon as possible. Your retina could be detaching. This also can be caused by an ocular migraine. Look up floaters and ocular migraines on the internet and read more about the symptoms of each.

u should get a CAT scan ASAP! u could have had a stroke (yes its possible to have one and not know about it), or u could have some sort of brain tumor or swelling. if u fell or had any accident lately this could cause it too.\nthere are also several bacterial brain infections which are rare but do exist and could cause this.\ni would also go to an eye doctor, though i do not think this is a problem with your eyes, it sounds a bit more serious than that.\nalso if u take birth control pills they could cause this and its also not good.\neither way, go to the hospital ASAP b/c it could be serious.\ngood luck. \nwait...how r u typing/reading if u cant see...?

Okie... here's something that might help! U have unexplained headaches, you cant read those advert banners from far/ the blackboard in class from the last bench, your eyes get runny and itchy when youre trying to focus on a distant object, far away lights at night seem blurry and not pin points. If the answer to ANY of the above is YES.... its time to visit your friendly neighborhood Optometrist/ Ophthalmologist :) and btw... spectacles can make you look CUTE!

The eye doctors call those "floaters".  I was told that it happens as the retina ages.

I was having them daily for a while about a year ago. At first I had no idea what was going on I thought I was going blind or something. The worst part about it is how fatigued you feel. It also causes serious issues with driving when you frequently have ocular migraines. I talked to an optometrist and found out extended amounts of physical activity can trigger an ocular migraine. I have since toned down my work out and haven't had an ocular migraine since.

It sounds like floaters.  If it is, then you have nothing to worry about.  Usually you'll notice them if you are looking at a white board or the sky.  Some people have lots, some people have a few, and some people never notice them.\n\nIf you're interested, floaters are caused from protein clumps in the jelly ("vitreous" in fancy talk) on the inside of your eye.  As you move your eyes, they slosh around and cast a shadow on your retina, which is what you can see.  If you hold your eyes really still, you'll notice they slow down and eventually disappear.\n\nAnother thing that is a possibility are "ocular migraines."  I would recommend that you get your eyes checked by your family eye doctor just to be on the safe side.

Floaters are caused by the break-down of the gel (vitreous) in the back of the eye.  They are usually very normal and occur more with age.  However, if you have experienced a sudden increase in them (or just started seeing them) or see associated flashes of light, you should see an eye doctor ASAP (optometrist or ophthalmologist - either is fine) to rule out a retinal or vitreous detachment.

that could be retinal detachment. i would definitely go to an eye specialist immediately for testing. instead of waiting for an appointment, inform them that it's an emergency and describe what you are/aren't seeing.

Sweetheart, it sounds like you are having some worrisome problems.  The doctors will figure out what is going on and "fix" it for you.\n\nIt may just be the migraines that are causing most or all of your problems.  A migraine can show up in a couple of different ways.  \n\nSome people have headaches while other people have what is called "Migraine Syndrone". With migraine syndrone, you may see a zig zag semi-translucent line in front of your eyes.  It appears to be around 6 inches wide.  When you close your eyes, you will still see it which indicates that it is happening in your brain and not in your eyes.  \n\nYou may have a "blind spot" in each eye.  You can look at one spot and there will be a spot, to the side, that will be a blank spot.  You move your eyes over some and the blind spot will move with your eyes.   \n\nYou may temperaraly lose your memory but it will slowly return.\n\nWhen it is over, everything will return to normal, and you will have a normal headache, and, with that, a great need to sleep.  After sleeping some, you will wake up and feel really bad.\n\nNo one knows for sure what causes migraines and migraine syndrone but it is thought that the blood vessels, in the brain, contrict and cut some of the flow of blood off to parts of your brain.\n\nMine hasn't caused me any permanent damage as far as I know.  I personally think the problem is caused by stress and nerves.\n\nIs my description similar to your symptoms?  \n\nGood luck.  Pops

i think u should go to a doctor...i have also very small white spots..and according to doctor i have vitiligo...but its not bothering me because its on my legs and very small..but in my opinion don't use anything from the advice or recommendations on net because u can't show your white patches here and there r lots of other things which cause this depend on size colour and different other things so just go to doctor and use whichever he/she recommend for you.\n\nthanks

It sounds like a pterigium or a pingueculum but without a visual, it is impossible to diagnose. See your local Ophthalmologist.
