Flashing lights seen in one eye

Hello!
I am so glad I found this forum. It is uplifting and very informative. Since the eyes are the windows to the soul, any problems
with them needs investigation and introspection. 
I am very nearsighted, so much so that I do not keep track of my eye prescription anymore.
I see floaters, which I know how to handle now, thanks to this forum. But what of flashing lights?  I am studying for exams and have been experiencing increased flashing lights from the left eye. Can anyone please shed some light on these?  I will deeply appreciate any input to elucidate the matter.
J.

Greetings Jo. Thanks for your participation.  I am pleased that the floater part of your concern has been taken care of. Flashing lights can from a normal medical point of view be potentially a sign of a serious problem with the retina and or vitreous. That is, make sure you get a medical opinion first before trying complimentary methods. I tell my clients to always get a baseline medical opinion so that we know what we are working with. In the case of high myopia, the retina can be stretched and thin. The vitreous can tear away. Once you have the medical diagnosis, then you can begin the EyeCode® process. 

This will include the following:

i) Deal with fears you may have in hurting your eyes any further or even going blind. 

ii) Do you provide the right food for your eyes, especially for nearsightedness. 

iii) Are you incorporating relaxing eye practices during the day when you are studying?

iv) Look into using colour balancing as a way to build resilience and healing for the retina and vitreous. 

v) Consider having a personal coaching session to gain new awareness of your unique EyeCode®

 

So keep us informed. All the best,  Roberto

Thank you very much, Roberto for the prompt response. Would you please explain color balancing?  I am very interested in that. I do try to rest my eyes throughout the day. I made an Appt. with a retinal specialist for October. What would the personal coaching session entail?  I look forward to hearing from you!  Jo

Dr. Kaplan, I am farsighted with some astigmatism in OD.  I too have flashing lights in both eyes and floaters that get in the way.  The doctor said nothing can be done with my conditions.  I find it difficult to see sometimes with floaters in the way.  How can I get rid of the floaters?  I noticed your information was for nearsightedness and flashing lights, what about farsightedness?  I have been practicing seeing without glasses.  I used to be a 3.00+ and now down to 1:00 +  which is not stable.  I assume Lyme disease attacked my eyes and caused problems.  My eyes also water a lot which also makes it difficult to see. 

What can I do with the floaters and flashing lights?

Dear Jo,

    I'm glad you're going to have a retina specialist check into your flashing lights.  When you made the appointment, did you tell them about the flashing lights?  Did they ask if there are any dark areas?  If they did ask and there are no dark areas, then please forgive my alarmist questions.  If there are, please get checked right away.   Best wishes,  Marcia

Hello Marcia. Thank you for your reply. I am seeing the retinal specialist soon. No, they did not ask any such questions. I was given a referral by my Opthalmologist to be seen by this specialist due to the flashing lights. My doc said if I am worried about them, I should see the specialist. He was not concerned, though.  I would like to have it monitored, however.  Meanwhile, I am trying to limit my worrying and anxiety to nothing (I believe I can get there) because they have ruled my life for nothing. Also, I stay away from negative people, as they also brought me down and affected me for nothing. Nothing of what they say is or comes true anyway. This has helped me tremendously. Thank you, again for your input. It is deeply appreciated.

Check out this blog post for floaters Jan.  For the rest begin using the self healing audios to program your brain and mind to continue the healing you have begun.

Here is the reference paper for you to read Jo. It is using colour through the eyes to bring about both retinal and eye stimulation or relaxation as well as rebalancing the autonomic nervous system.
