About two months ago I had the same symptoms, flashes in the right eye and a large floater. Went to the optometrist for an overdue visit and she referred me to the ophthalmologist the same day.
I was also told that it's not uncommon in someone my age (65) and that the flashes would go away in 4 to 6 weeks (they did) but the floater would remain (it has!).
THere was a big difference in the appearance between the eyes so was sent for a carotid artery ultrasound to check that blood flow was OK which it was. The condition was put down to my diabetes.
Two months on after a follow up, I was told all is well, or as well as it can be for an old bloke!
Regards
Geoff
