Why Am I Seeing Flashes in My Eye?
This phenomenon often occurs due to changes in the vitreous gel inside your eye or irritation of the retina. While it is good that there is no pain, it's important to monitor your symptoms. I recommend scheduling an appointment with an eye specialist who can conduct a thorough examination. Early detection is crucial for addressing any potential issues. In the meantime, try to avoid straining your eyes and ensure proper lighting when reading or working. Your health is a priority, so don’t hesitate to seek professional guidance.

Can I take lycopene8000 mg for post-retina detachment?
After retinal detachment and silicone oil removal, caution is key. Eye health is enhanced by lycopene, but consuming it in high amounts like 8000 mg might not be safe without expert advice. Your body could react negatively to excessive lycopene. The right amount for your specific situation can best be determined by consulting with an eye specialist.
