Understanding Unusual Visual Phenomena: White Lights in Your Vision


Question
Hey there! A couple weeks, I had some episodes of when I would close my eyes, either to sleep or just because, i would see white lights move from teh outer corner of my eyes to the middle like waves, I would open them and close, and again. If I keep them closed, it would stop after a little bit. Now I can't reproduce that so it's not happening now. I went to the eye doctor, and thank God everything is fine there. Is there any reason for me to worry that this could be something else?? I hope not, I just would like some reassurance.

Answer
sometimes you can see trails of previous light stimulation when you close your eyes.... I don't see that as a problem, just something that is there.... the light perception should fade away over a couple of minutes when you close your eyes, but if your eye exam was OK, it sounds like this is just an interesting phenomena...
