Any optometrist?

Your retina may be detaching. Can be permanent if not addressed quickly. Prayers cent. Would be seen there
I shouldn’t be joking about it. My uncle and friend both had a detached retina. If I remember right they had to keep their head down for a week or more after they got it fixed.
 
I’ve had floaters most of my life, they aren’t very noticeable normally tho
About 2 months ago I started getting “flashers” in my right eye & that was followed by a new floater.
I was worried that was a retina detachment so I immediately made an appt to the eye doctor
What I have is a Vitreous Detatchment. Nothing can be done about those & they don’t cause vision loss in itself. Supposedly everyone gets those as they age.
If u see any flashing white light especially noticeable in a dark room or at night when u move ur head, that’s probably what it is
Get checked regardless when u get home.
If u aren’t noticing any vision loss or shading (blind spots) in ur vision I don’t think it’s a detached retina
Any weird stuff with vision is scary & being out of the country with this occurring would definitely take any fun out of the trip

Fun fact vitreous detachment can cause retinal detachment.
 
Floaters are pretty normal, especially as you age. I have them in one eye and have for several years. I saw the eye doc and she said normal.

If you get a ton of them that come on all at once, or if you start seeing kind of flashes of light, I think those signs of a detached retina and you’ll need to see an eye doc ASAP and have surgery to save that puppy or ur blind.
