Some people describe them as lightning streaks, sparks or flashes that appear suddenly, especially in dark places or when moving the eyes. Although in many cases these flashes are not a serious problem, they can also be the first sign of an eye condition that needs immediate medical attention.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            Knowing the causes of flashes of light in the eyes and learning to recognize when they may signal an emergency is essential to protect your eye health and prevent complications that could permanently affect your vision.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n          \r\n          <div class=\"intro-image-container\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Examen oftalmol\u00f3gico de retina\"><\/div>\r\n        <\/section>\r\n\r\n        <!-- SECCI\u00d3N 01 -->\r\n        <section id=\"que-son\">\r\n          <h2 class=\"section-num-title translation-block\"><span class=\"num\">01<\/span> What are flashes of light in the eyes?<\/h2>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text translation-block\">Flashes of light, medically known as <strong>photopsia<\/strong>, are perceptions of light that appear without any external light source. They can show up as bright lines, sparks, points of light or lightning streaks that last only a few seconds.<\/p>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            These flashes tend to be more noticeable in dim lighting or when the eyes move quickly. Although they can appear at any age, they are more common in older adults because of the natural changes that happen inside the eye over time.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n        <\/section>\r\n\r\n        <!-- SECCI\u00d3N 02 -->\r\n        <section id=\"por-que-aparecen\">\r\n          <h2 class=\"section-num-title translation-block\"><span class=\"num\">02<\/span> Why do flashes of light appear?<\/h2>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            Different causes can trigger this symptom. Some are part of the natural aging of the eye, while others need immediate attention:\r\n          <\/p>\r\n\r\n          <h3 class=\"subsection-title\">Changes in the vitreous humor<\/h3>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye. With age, this gel starts to lose consistency and can slowly pull away from the retina. During this process, the vitreous can tug slightly on the retina, creating the sensation of flashes of light. This is fairly common in people over 50 and, in many cases, is not a major risk as long as the retina stays intact.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n\r\n          <h3 class=\"subsection-title\">Posterior vitreous detachment<\/h3>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            Posterior vitreous detachment happens when this substance separates completely from the retina. Along with flashes of light, the familiar \"floaters\" (myodesopsia) often appear: small spots or threads that seem to float across your field of vision. Although this process is usually benign, it is important to have an eye exam to confirm the retina has not been damaged.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n\r\n          <h3 class=\"subsection-title\">Ocular migraine<\/h3>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            Some people see flashes of light as part of an ocular migraine or migraine with aura. In these cases, the flashes are usually accompanied by zigzag shapes, bright lights or areas where vision temporarily disappears. These episodes generally last 20 to 30 minutes and can occur with or without a headache.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n        <\/section>\r\n\r\n        <!-- SECCI\u00d3N 03 -->\r\n        <section id=\"senales-alarma\">\r\n          <h2 class=\"section-num-title translation-block\"><span class=\"num\">03<\/span> When can flashes be a warning sign?<\/h2>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            Although flashes are often not a serious problem, there are situations in which they should be treated as a medical emergency:\r\n          <\/p>\r\n\r\n          <h3 class=\"subsection-title\">Retinal tear<\/h3>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            When the vitreous pulls too hard on the retina, it can cause a small tear. If the tear is not treated in time, fluid can pass through the opening and cause a retinal detachment.\r\n          <\/p>\r\n\r\n          <div class=\"callout-box alert-box\">\r\n            <div class=\"callout-icon\">\r\n              <svg width=\"22\" height=\"22\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"><path d=\"M10.29 3.86L1.82 18a2 2 0 0 0 1.71 3h16.94a2 2 0 0 0 1.71-3L13.71 3.86a2 2 0 0 0-3.42 0z\"><\/path><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"9\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"13\"><\/line><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"17\" x2=\"12.01\" y2=\"17\"><\/line><\/svg>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <div>\r\n              <div class=\"callout-content\">Common symptoms of a tear or detachment:<\/div>\r\n              <ul class=\"styled-list\" style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0;\">\r\n                <li>Sudden appearance of multiple flashes.<\/li>\r\n                <li>A significant increase in floaters.<\/li>\r\n                <li>A shadow or curtain covering part of your vision.<\/li>\r\n                <li>Sudden decrease in vision.<\/li>\r\n              <\/ul>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n          <h3 class=\"subsection-title translation-block\"><span class=\"risk-card-dot\"><\/span>Retinal detachment<\/h3>\r\n          <p class=\"paragraph-text\">\r\n            Retinal detachment is a true medical emergency.
