It felt as though I had something in my eye for a while, then . . . nothing.

Is THAT what you're going through? What the heck is it?

Yikes!

Catherine, see your eye doctor ASAP. Any "flashes" are worrisome, can be a sign, from what I know, of retina detaching or other such serious problem, so you want to get it examined today!
