Patient's question:
Doctor, because I accidentally injured my eye while traveling with friends before, I had to rest in the hospital for a long time. The doctor said that as long as I cooperate well with the treatment, there won't be any major problems. But now it has been seven months, and sometimes my eye still flashes white light and feels itchy. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The sensation of eye flashes may be related to a posterior vitreous detachment. High myopia, age, and trauma are factors that can easily lead to this condition. A simple posterior vitreous detachment generally does not require special treatment. However, it can easily cause a macular hole or retinal detachment. If vision declines again or dark spots appear in the field of vision, a thorough examination of the retina is necessary. If a macular hole is detected, laser isolation should be performed. If retinal detachment occurs again, early surgery is required.
