Phosphene treatment in Celaya

A phosphene is the perception of flashes or points of light without a real light source being present—that is, seeing light that does not come from the surroundings. It can arise, for example, when rubbing the eyes or when changing position abruptly.

When to pay attention? If the flashes appear suddenly, frequently, or are accompanied by spots or partial loss of vision, a review is advisable, since they may reflect changes in the retina.

Context: although some phosphenes are occasional and transient, others may be a sign that the eye deserves an evaluation.

Who assesses it? The ophthalmologist is the specialist who examines the retina and the structures of the eye. If you notice new or persistent flashes of light, the recommended step is to request an evaluation with this professional.
