I have a very good ophthalmologist - he is a surgeon as well.

I asked him about bright flashes - leaving out a lot of detail to pertain to your situation, he said that if they were black not bright, I should see him right away. (My situation: bright flashes which should recede with time, and they are going away).

He does all sorts of tests including pictures of the retina, so I could bore you with the fascinating details of what makes my retinas special :-).

He has lots of diagnostic "toys", but they make sense and the more info, the better I think than a doctor just shining a light and saying "yup!".

As to floaters ... I started taking Lysine and it has helped greatly (not a solution from the doctor).

In general for health, the three supplements that I've found made the biggest difference is Vitamin D (yes I have levels checked once a year), Lysine, and Glucosamine concoctions.

The first two had positive effects within a few weeks; Glucosamine concoctions starts after more than a month of regular consumption.
