...corner of that eye? I went to the eye doctor in March for a thorough examination. I got new glasses because I have trouble seeing distant things. Around a week ago, I started seeing bright white flashes of light in the corner of my left eye. Then I noticed that the vision in my left eye was getting very blurry. The other morning, it almost looked like I was seeing through a mist.

I lost my health insurance and have no way of paying for a visit to the eye doctor now.

I've been hideously stressed out lately because my husband died earlier this year and left everything in a mess and I've had a lot on my mind, I'm not sleeping well, and I'm up lots of nights worrying. Could stress affect my vision, or does this sound like something worse? Thanks, oh, I'm 53.
 
Flashing lights in your vision isa serious symptom that needs prompt investigation. It can be a sign associated with a retinal detatchment. You should go to the emergency to have your eyes dilated and examined asap.
