Light twisting (seeing lights or flashes) and floaters (spots, dots or floating darkenings in the field of vision) can be symptoms of various diseases, not just the eyes. Below I list some possible causes of these symptoms, but please remember that only a doctor will be able to accurately assess your situation based on the results of tests and physical examination: 1. Vitreous diseases: Inside the eye is a gel substance called vitreous. As we age, it can degenerate, causing floaters, called floating bodies, to appear. They can create shadows or darkenings in the field of view. 2. Retinal detachment: Retinal detachment consists in detaching the retina from the tissues that support its function. This can cause light-twisting and floaters. 3. Migraine with aura (migraine auras): Some people experience neurological symptoms before migraine, which include, m.in a light turn. Floaters can also accompany migraine attacks. 4. Diabetic retinopathy: scots before the eyes are caused by too high a concentration of glucose in the blood, which leads to excessive dilation of the blood vessels of the retina and subsequent damage to their walls. 5. Anemia: both from iron deficiency and vitamin B12, manifested by a complex of ailments characterized by general weakness and scots before the eyes. 6. Ocular hypertension: Ocular hypertension is not a disease, but a factor in the development of eye diseases, most often glaucoma. The cause of ocular hypertension can be taking certain medications (mainly steroids), eye trauma, as well as excessive or too little fluid secretion through the eyes. If you experience light-turning, floaters or other disturbing symptoms in the eye, it is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible. If the ophthalmologist has not found anything, then I suggest consulting a neurologist. He will perform a thorough eye examination and assess your symptoms in the context of your medical history, which will allow you to make an accurate diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment. If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-neurologiem
