eye floaters?

In the middle of the night I had a few little white ones not sure if that is a flash of light? I may call the advice nurse just to be sure but thanks everyone.

Doubtful. The flash of light is just what it sounds like - a bright, quick flash - bright like an LED light, and usually appears to be in the outside corner of your eye. You would recognize one if you had one - it really gets your attention! I've had numerous ones and the doc says in my case they are rather harmless electrical impulses, but anyone that has them should have them checked out to make sure that it isn't a more serious issue.

Thats a relief I am due for my annual exam I will make an appointment.

I had floaters for ages and they did disappear with the cataract surgery. Had nothing to do with the cataracts but it's sort of nice not to be bothered by them anymore--- harmless but annoying at times.
