Flashing lights

[Blitzford72]

As posted previously about my mum's eye sight ,but a new one appeared today .She has flashing lights in her eyes ,is this a common complaint with psp ??

my mum had many eye issues before she was diagnosed with PSP. Flashing lights was one she described quite often. The hospital consultant said it was an ocular migraine but he didn’t know she had PSP then. She also often had what she said were ‘Christmas lights’ when she was able to describe it. Hope the disturbances pass quickly.

Hi flashing lights might be unrelated to PSP so I'd ring GP or 111 to get things checked out. I've posted before that mum had eye sight probs put down to PSP for years before we found out they were unrelated and treatable so now I insist every new symptoms is checked out and not just assumed to be PSP good luck
