Every night when I turn off laptop to go to bed, in the dark, When I move my eyes around left and right or turn my head left and right, i get these flashes of light from the corner of my eyes, these happen to both eyes,
also, when I have my eyes closed trying to sleep, I feel that, someone turned the light on, as I can see the flash of light, but its still dark, no one has turned anything on, so my eyes flash while closed too,
What could this be?
I had this for 4 months now,
It happens only at night when finishing with my laptop, and sometimes while watching tv,
I'm going docs to refer me to my local hospital, tomorrow, but want to be prepared for the diagnosis?
does anyone else get this?
this never happen before,
Could it be from the overuse of laptop or worse?

Maybe watching to many soaps, both a possible problem.
Do it to the news instead.

What sexy newsreader would you recommend?
I get something similar .If i look at the bright screen too long i lose my central vision for about twenty minutes and czn only see on the periphery.if i close my eyes i can see a sort of flashing in negative...i told a work colleague whosaid she had it too and her doctor told her its a form of migraine. Does it make you feel nausea when it comes on ?
I was thinking more images of war and pestilence.
Unless Moira Stewarts still going. She was pretty hot.
Flashing of shapes and colours can be normal, again, caused by looking at something bright for ages. The brightness of a monitor isn't going to do damage though. But if it's actually appearing like bright flashes, like the room has briefly been lit up by a camera flash when your eyes are open or closed, that's not normal as far as I know.
Lol..well i,m not normal anyway. It always comes on with me after looking at a computer screen too long..at work i,m on it all day so i just keep walking away from it every hour or so
Sleep tight.:D
nah i,m a big believer in serendipity

I went to boots optician 6 months ago and my eyes were completely fine, they did not find anything!
This cant be normal at my age of 20?
What am I experiencing, its nearly 2 years on and its not getting better or getting worser?

Quite a long article about it at: https://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1362457985
But you started off saying it was
so is this now a 2 year occurrence and not just started 4 months ago !! ?? Have you yet taken yourself to maybe Specsavers or even your local Eye hospital ??
OP get your eyes checked out by a specialist if in fact all this is true
