for the past 5 months Ive had this strange flashing of light in my left eye, its almost like a dot a very bright blue/ white light, sometimes it looks purple or ultraviolet almost. it happened any time and anywhere there is no pattern or trigger, it happens even in a totally dark room when Im sleeping even when my eye shut which to me confirms its not the eye or light coming in but possibly caused by the brain. I have noticed in the last 2 weeks when Im driving I will see more blue light flashes in my vision, more than just a small dot but almost like a smear of blue but this only happens when driving so I wasn't sure if that was car lights making things worse.
Ive had my eyes tested and they did extra testing for detachment and cancers of the eye and said my eye sight and eye health is very good to mention this to a Dr because the issue isn't coming from the eye. when Ive mentioned it one Dr wanted to do a physical neurological exam (not sure what that is) but the next Dr I saw has brushed it off and said its probably nothing because Im young... I hate that response.
in the last month my left eye has now started twitching under my eye, very annoying and just adding to the confusing issue with my left eye.
has anyone ever had anything like this ? Im not supplementing anything or eating any different, Im thinking I should demand a brain MRI or something as my eyes are good and healthy.
