While flashes and floaters are often harmless, a sudden change can signal a serious retinal problem that requires prompt attention. Age-related changes in the vitreous are a common cause, but floaters can also be associated with bleeding, inflammation, or a retinal tear. Dr. Desai at Windy City Retina provides specialized evaluation and treatment for conditions of the retina and vitreous. If flashes, floaters, or changes in vision occur suddenly, schedule a thorough examination promptly.
