Re: Possible detachment--retina or vitreous?
Hi Tabs
Both flashes of light and increased number of floaters can be a symptom of detached retina. Doubt if it would be caused by the exersizes you did, although a good whack to the head can precipitate a detachment. It is a very good idea to have it checked by an opthalmologist as soon as possible. It may be nothing serious, but always good to check these things out. If your vision changes or you develop any loss of vision in the peripheral, get to a doctor or Hospital ER (preferably one equipped for eye problems) sooner.
The vitreous detaching can also cause these symptoms, so a good eye exam is essential.
Good luck and hope it's nothing serious. Occular migraines can also cause a zig-zaggy flashing light effect. I get the zig-zag on occassion, but never accompanied by an actual migraine headache. But I've had 5 retina detachments, too, and they are both similar in what you see.
