Eye flashes & floaters in children and adults

Flashes & floaters are presented in your vision as:
  • Dark and/or clear spots and lines
  • Small spots of flashing lights
Eye flashes & floaters can be monitored with regular eye checks and the appearance of flashes and floaters in your vision is usually nothing to be concerned about.
Flashes & floaters indicate that there is a change in the vitreous gel in the back of your eye.
If you have short-sightedness (myopia), you may experience flashes & floaters earlier in life.
For people over the age of 50, eye flashes & floaters may indicate early signs of a retinal tear or detachment. Retinal tears and detachments happen when the retina in the back of the eye becomes loose and may suggest a more serious eye condition such as macular degeneration.

Diagnosis, treatment & management for eye flashes & floaters

We offer a private consultation with our ophthalmologist to check the health of your eye and provide a diagnosis of any eye conditions you may have, including floater treatment advice and surgery planning if required.
Although you may experience eye floaters and flashes of light, it is rare to be given a diagnosis for an eye condition as these floaters are generally nothing to worry about in early adulthood.
For people over the age of 50, flashes & floaters may indicate early signs of more serious eye conditions. If you are over the age of 50 and experiencing eye flashes & floaters, please contact our support team for a private consultation with our ophthalmologist.

The surgeon was excellent, the staff very pleasant and knowledgeable. The atmosphere in the clinic was serene and unhurried.As I said to Bola my surgeon she really is a miracle worker, making "the blind to see". I had bilateral cataract surgery, and afterwards I could see without aid which I had not been able to do for 65 years.

Brilliant Treatment resulted in Brilliant Vision After noticing that my distance vision when driving was becoming uncomfortable and driving at night was becoming more and more difficult and new prescription glasses didn’t make much difference I decided to have cataract surgery. A friend recommended I have a consultation at the I-Clinic. Their professional examination was really Impressive and I had my totally painless operation to remove the cataracts (on both eyes) completed within the next four weeks.

I was recommended to Mr Bulger by a friend and was very pleased with the entire process for removing cataracts and improving my vision remarkably. It really is a miracle. All of the staff were kind and attentive and with Mr Bulger I felt that I was in very safe hands. Follow up activity was with Ms Odufuwa who was most helpful and attentive

I cannot praise My-Iclinic enough from my initial consultation to pre op and my surgery. The staff are reassuring and extremely professional in every aspect of the process. Mrs Bola Oduwufa is a wonderful surgeon and a magician in my eyes !!!. My double cataract extraction and lens replacement has improved my eyesight 1000%.I didn’t realise how flat and dull the colours and perspective of seeing life through my eyes had become due to the cataracts.

The care taken by all the clinic staff to ensure that I was comfortable, kept informed of what was being done to my eye and made to feel relaxed during the pre op tests was of an extremely high standard The surgeon was thorough, in the initial meeting, in explaining the problems and procedure that she would use to remove my cataracts.

Fantastic results. I was so impressed by all the staff and the extensive pre and post op test and scans which has resulted in 20:20 vision. My surgeon made the double cataract operation as easy a process as possible with re-assurance at all steps. Highly, highly recommended

My-iClinic was recommended by my optometrist. Both eyes were done quickly, painlessly and by a friendly team and one of two expert eye surgeons. Mr Bolger inspires confidence. I think I've had mine done early before the cataracts developed too much, which I recommend. The clarity is wonderful. Don't wait for your vision to get worse.

I am a absolutely terrified of anybody going near my eyes, it took a lot of courage to go ahead with treatment. During treatment the nurses and everybody concerned made great efforts to give me confidence. The staff were very friendly and thorough in their approach with attention to detail at every stage. I could have had the treatment in Cyprus at a much lower cost - but finally decided that My-iClinic from reports I had read and comments made to me was the best option. All the time remember you only have one set of eyes - and I have always felt it is your most important sense

Flashes & Floaters Frequently asked questions

Have a question? We are here to help.

What are eye flashes & floaters?

Flashes & floaters are dark or clear lines or spots that appear in the peripheral vision. This is caused by changes in the vitreous gel in the back of the eye, also known as posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).

At what age are eye flashes & floaters normally diagnosed?

Eye flashes & floaters can be visible at any age. For children and young adults who are short-sighted, flashes & floaters may be visible and monitored by the opticians. Although you may experience flashes & floaters, it is rare to be given a diagnosis for an eye condition as these floaters are generally nothing to worry about in early adulthood. For people over the age of 50, flashes & floaters may indicate early signs of more serious eye conditions. If you are over the age of 50 and experiencing eye flashes & floaters, please contact 0208 447 8877 for a private eye assessment with an ophthalmologist.

What is a retinal detachment?

A retinal detachment is when the retina (a layer in your eye) separates from the back of the eye. This can cause vision loss and lead to permanent blindness.

How do you get tested for flashes & floaters?

It is always best to visit your local opticians for a routine eye check. Our ophthalmologist will be able to diagnose flashes & floaters and monitor its condition with our clinic facilities. Our specialists will be able to determine if a treatment referral is required.

Can flashes & floaters get worse?

Eye flashes & floaters may get worse with age. If your flashes & floaters are affecting your vision or you notice a change in your vision, we advise you to get an eye check with your local opticians or our ophthalmologist. If you would like to book a private consultation with our ophthalmologist, please contact our support team on 0208 445 8877 for comprehensive eye assessments.

When should I worry about eye floaters and flashes?

Flashes & floaters are usually nothing to worry about. If, however, you are experiencing any vision loss, we advise you to visit your local opticians for an eye check or you can visit our clinic for a comprehensive assessment of your eyes.

Can flashes & floaters be treated?
