In general if you see flashes of light you have a major and very serious eye problem and you need to see an optometrist. If you see floaters that is not a problem. Floaters are dots and other shapes such as cobwebs, needles, fluff and small balls that float past your eyes but when you see flashes of light you need an optometrist.<br><b>References : </b><br>Discussion with an optometrist This could be very serious unless it is a brief side effect from your cold.

If you are young it's more then likely a result of meds...if you are a bit older like me you may want to pay attention. TIA's (small strokes) can present with flashes of light, spots, or interruption of filed of vision. May a trip to the doctors is in order. Better safe then sorry.<br><b>References : </b><br> How old are you?…the timing of the flashes of light might have been just a fluke.
