You've actually reminded me I did have flashing lights in one of my eyes at work about 10 years ago. It started like a sort of shimmering in one corner, then spread across my whole eye. I couldn't concentrate at all, just a constant pulsating, flashing, glitchy shimmering of light. Kind of like being on acid (if you've ever done that - I did a couple of times in my youth).
I made up some excuse and went for a walk, hoping it would disappear (it did, after about half an hour). I was *very* stressed out in work at the time, and always put the experience down to stress.
As I say, this was about 10 years ago and I didn't experience anything else in the meantime. This recent one in the caravan was completely different. Just a single instantaneous blast of white light that woke me up.
