Many people are familiar with the sudden appearance of dots, stripes, "worms" before their eyes. In medicine, this phenomenon is called "flickering flies before the eyes." Why does this visual effect occur and what to do about it?
Causes of the appearance of flies before the eyes
Indeed, many people face flies before their eyes. Most of them do not pay much attention to this phenomenon. But there are suspicious people who, having noticed the flies before their eyes, begin to panic and look for the causes of the pathology.
The flies in front of the eyes will be especially noticeable if you look at any light surface. The flickering of dots and stripes in the eyes can be noticed by any person if he looks, for example, at a clear blue sky or white snow. Also, flies begin to flicker before your eyes, if you look closely at the sun, a bright light bulb. This is absolutely normal and soon the flies disappear.
There are situations when a person observes a similar visual effect for a long time and this brings him discomfort. In this case, you need to consult an ophthalmologist or a therapist. Flashing points before the eyes can be a sign of both ophthalmic and somatic diseases.
eye diseases
Very often, the cause of the appearance of flies lies directly in the eye itself, namely in the vitreous body. It is a gel-like substance that fills the cavity of the eye. The vitreous body consists mainly of water, collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid. In its natural state, the vitreous body is transparent. However, sometimes there is a breakdown (destruction) of structural proteins, due to which opaque particles are formed. When a light beam passes through the vitreous body, it encounters these particles, which are projected onto the retina in the form of shadows. Therefore, the effect of flies before the eyes occurs.
Such transformations are called destruction of the vitreous body. This process inevitably overtakes a person in old age, but it can also occur in young years. People with are especially susceptible to destruction of the vitreous body.
The causes of the appearance of flies flickering before the eyes can also be such diseases:
- Detachment of the posterior vitreous body;
- Hemorrhage in the eye;
- eye injury;
- Peripheral retinal dystrophy;
- Retinal disinsertion;
- Uveitis.
The most dangerous condition from the above list is retinal detachment, since this ailment can lead to blindness. Retinal detachment is indicated by a sudden influx of many flies in front of the eyes, as well as the appearance of light flashes - lightning. If these symptoms occur, you should immediately contact an ophthalmologist.
Vascular diseases
Not always the cause of the occurrence of flies is hidden in ophthalmic diseases. Often this phenomenon accompanies fluctuations in blood pressure. With and disturbed blood supply to organs, including the eyes. Due to poor blood supply to the retina, flies appear in the field of view. A sharp spasm of blood vessels at high pressure can even lead to a rupture of the capillary in the eye, this can also be the direct cause of the appearance of flies. If a capillary breaks in one eye, then the flies will be observed in the field of view of one eye.
Flies before their eyes are also faced by people suffering from. With this disease, the vessels of the retina of the eye are affected with the development of diabetic retinopathy. Vessels become brittle and may burst. The accumulation of blood leads to the appearance of flies in the field of view, a veil in front of the eyes, and a decrease in visual acuity.
Brain diseases
Flashing flies before the eyes can be a sign of a neurological disease. Such a disease as characterized by long and painful in one half of the head. The onset of an attack is indicated by the appearance of precursors. This period is called a migraine aura, which may be accompanied by the appearance of flies, light flashes, blurred vision, the occurrence of simple hallucinations, and impaired speech.
Traumatic brain injury leads to a number of neurological disorders. So, the victims themselves at the time of injury can see the flickering of flies in the field of view and even “sparks” from the eyes. In favor of TBI are also evidenced by such symptoms as:
- Strong headache;
- memory loss;
- Speech impairment, etc.
The cause of the appearance of flies in the eyes may be a tumor of the occipital lobe of the brain. This is not surprising, because the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex is responsible for the processing of visual information and visual perception. Therefore, tumors in this area are accompanied by flies, light flashes in the field of view, photopsia (the appearance of circles, stars, simple geometric shapes). As the tumor process progresses, visual disturbances become more pronounced: visual fields fall out, color perception is disturbed. Nevertheless, when flies appear, you should not immediately think about a tumor of the occipital lobe of the brain, because this ailment is quite rare.
Other causes of flies
The culprit for the appearance of flies may be. With osteochondrosis, deformed cervical vertebrae compress the vertebral artery, which supplies blood to the brain and eyes. In favor of this ailment, the appearance of flies before the eyes, dizziness, and a crunch in the neck testify.
Flies before the eyes - a faithful companion. A decrease in hemoglobin levels also develops with bleeding, including latent ones. Therefore, the appearance of flies before the eyes, weakness and fainting should be the reason for examination for internal bleeding.
Treatment
Before you start fighting the flies before your eyes, you need to identify the cause of this phenomenon. In cases where, during the examination, the ophthalmologist determines that everything is in order with the organ of vision, no treatment is prescribed. If the root cause lies, for example, in or diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to treat the underlying disease.
By and large, there is no universal cure for flies before the eyes.. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe to the patient drops "Emoxipin 1%" and tablets "Wobenzym" for oral administration, which improve metabolic processes.
In cases where the flies are caused by destruction of the vitreous body, the ophthalmologist may suggest a surgical solution to this problem. A procedure called vitreolysis involves the laser splitting of opaque particles in the vitreous body. The resulting small particles will not interfere with normal vision.
In special cases, resort to vitrectomy. This is an operation to remove the vitreous. A synthetic transparent gel is injected into the empty cavity of the eye, after which the optical patency is restored and the flies disappear from the field of view.
In the midst of full health, you suddenly began to notice unusual symptoms that were not there before. For example, for unknown reasons, the heartbeat quickens, you are worried about dry mouth or other unpleasant sensations. Do not disregard these alarming bells, because each of them carries information about certain problems in your body. Perhaps, to fix the problem, it will be enough to adjust the diet and improve your lifestyle, but it is possible that you will have to take your health seriously. And the sooner you do this, the easier it will be to fix the problem.
Do you lick your lips often? Keep in mind: if this happens on the street, then the skin becomes weathered and dries up. Often this condition is caused by a lack of vitamins and amino acids. Another reason may be the use of poorly selected cosmetics - cream or lipstick, to which an allergy has arisen. In some people, the skin of the lips “does not like” nicotine: it reacts with inflammation and dries up. If cracks have formed in the corners of the mouth, this may be due to infection with staphylococcus aureus or yeast fungi.
What to do
If the problem has just arisen, try to work on it yourself. For example, change your lipstick, increase your water intake (at least 1.5 liters per day). Pick up a moisturizing balm or hygienic lipstick containing vitamins A and E. Review your diet. Make sure that it contains oil, liver, meat, dairy products, oatmeal, black bread, vegetables and fruits. At night, do a light massage of the lips with a softening cream. And be sure to see a doctor: you may need medication.
If you notice that while brushing your teeth, blood appears in your mouth, pay attention to your gums. Are you brushing too hard? Choose another one with softer bristles. But you should know that bleeding gums are observed in many diseases, such as gingivitis, diabetes, hemophilia, vitamin C deficiency.
What to do
See a doctor and get tested (blood clotting, prothrombin level). With a decrease in platelets and prothrombin index, an increase in bleeding time, you should contact a hematologist. Eat more fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C. Take a course of multivitamins. It is good to rinse your mouth with a decoction of oak bark, St. John's wort or yarrow (they have tannic properties).
Often, the lower eyelid can suddenly twitch, although such an unpleasant phenomenon can also occur with the upper one. The reasons are stress, overwork, abuse of strong coffee, prolonged work at the computer, sleep disturbance, as well as allergic reactions to household dust or pollen of flowering plants. In severe cases, neurological problems occur.
What to do
Find out and eliminate the cause: normalize sleep, adjust visual load. Buy special computer glasses. Contact an ophthalmologist to check visual acuity, and if necessary, a neurologist.
Sometimes hands tremble after excessive physical exertion. Also, fingers can tremble with strong excitement. As a rule, after the situation normalizes, the jitter passes. Tremor is observed with alcohol abuse, serious nervous disorders. In old age, hand tremors may indicate the onset of Parkinson's disease.
What to do
With a frequently recurring tremor, a consultation with a neurologist is needed. If, along with hand trembling, coordination of movements is suddenly disturbed, the face turns red, vomiting begins - these are signs of acute poisoning. Call a doctor immediately!
You probably noticed that after too hard work, black dots, “strings”, or both at the same time float before your eyes. In most cases, such unpleasant phenomena are the result of overstrain of the retina. But it can also indicate destructive changes in the vitreous body of the eye that occur in diabetes mellitus, vascular diseases and metabolic disorders.
What to do
Reduce eye strain as much as possible or at least take breaks during the working day, from time to time alternately look either into the distance or at nearby objects. In more serious cases, it is necessary to be examined to determine the ailment and act on it.
This unpleasant phenomenon can spoil even the most sweet Dreams. Sometimes the sweating is so profuse that the bed has to be changed at night. This happens with influenza and other viral diseases, when the fever drops sharply. Although it is possible that you are hiding too warm a blanket. But if there are no indicated reasons, it is necessary to find out if any ailment is hiding behind hyperhidrosis (thyroid disease, pulmonary tuberculosis).
What to do
Most likely, you will need to consult an endocrinologist or phthisiatrician. The examination will include blood tests (general and for sugar) and urine, x-rays of organs chest, thyroid study.
This rather unpleasant sensation can occur with viral and infectious diseases accompanied by high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss, and also signal the onset of certain ailments (anemia, diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, and a number of others). Saliva production is reduced due to smoking, taking antidepressants, tranquilizers, painkillers, colds, antihistamines and other medications.
What to do
Talk to your doctor about the likely causes of the problem. Perhaps, to restore the natural moisture of the oral cavity, he will prescribe a mouth rinse or a drug that stimulates salivation. You will also have to change some habits, as reduced salivation increases the risk of developing gingivitis (inflammatory gum disease), tooth decay and various oral infections (for example, thrush),
In a woman, facial hair growth can be a hereditary, constitutional phenomenon, and also occur due to diseases of the endocrine system. Very often, hirsutism accompanies polycystic ovaries. According to statistics, hair growth male type occurs in 10-12 percent of women.

Dry mouth and eyes causes
At times, many of us have experienced dry mouth and eyes, in most cases the dryness goes away on its own. However, if a person constantly experiences such a state, then this always indicates a functional disorder of health. Medical term used to refer to given state called Sjögren's syndrome. The disease mainly affects the salivary and lacrimal glands. And since they are present in the eyes and in the oral cavity, then, accordingly, the disease affects the state of these organs.
The causes of this disease are not exactly known, but it is known that the disease belongs to autoimmune diseases. This condition manifests itself in the fact that the immune system mistakenly begins to attack healthy cells and tissues of the body. Sjögren's syndrome is more common in women than in men. Moreover, the disease can develop in a person at any age. However, people over 40 are more at risk.
Symptoms of the disease
The most common symptom of the disease is persistent dry mouth and eyes. This is especially evident in the evening and at night. The characteristic signs also include burning, itching, sudden deterioration of vision. Dry mouth can make it difficult for a person to swallow, chew food, and even speak. Some patients complain of symptoms such as redness of the eyes, sensitivity to light, and fatigue in the eyes. Sometimes patients complain of a burning sensation of the tongue, a change in taste sensations. There is an unpleasant taste and smell from the mouth. There is ulceration of the tongue, etc.
The pair of salivary glands that are present between the jaw and the ears are called the parotid glands. The salivary glands always increase in size. Less pronounced symptoms are dry skin, in women it is also dryness of the vagina. Skin rashes, pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints, dry cough and physical fatigue can all be the result of the disease. The syndrome is often accompanied by other autoimmune diseases. such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Diagnosis and treatment
To diagnose the disease, it is necessary to conduct a physical examination, at the same time the patient's history is studied. Then blood tests for antibody levels are taken. The level of antibodies is judged on the severity of the disease. An ophthalmological examination is also carried out to diagnose the degree of dry eyes. Since there is no specific treatment for Sjögren's syndrome, the main goal of treatment is to reduce the intensity of symptoms.
What to do? There are several types medicines which can be used to alleviate the patient's condition. To alleviate dry mouth, medications are prescribed, aimed at increasing salivation. Immunosuppressants are taken to suppress abnormal functioning of the immune system. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to relieve pain, swelling and inflammation in the joints, etc. 
To relieve dry eyes eye drops, artificial tear preparations. At night, you can use special ointments. They give a good effect, but during the day they are not used for the reason that they are very oily. If it stings and dries the eyes very much, the doctor may prescribe laser procedures, with the help of which the tear ducts are permanently sealed. Drainage of tears to the outside stops, symptoms are minimized.
To relieve dry mouth, it is recommended to use unsweetened chewing gum. Water can be sprayed into the mouth during the day. Dry eyes, unlike dry mouth, are quite difficult to treat because the artificial lubricants that are used to moisturize the eyes do not give the maximum desired effect. To reduce vaginal dryness, doctors prescribe special lubricating creams and ointments. From dry skin, special moisturizers are also used.
If dry mouth and eyes are persistent, you may need to make some changes to your diet. Softer and more moist foods should be used. Drink more liquid. When a person suffers from dry mouth and eyes, sugary foods should be avoided. It is also important to take good care of your mouth. And visits to the doctor should become mandatory and on an ongoing basis.

Ludmila asks:
Hello! I live in Norway. With medicine, everything is very difficult for us. Rather, it is very difficult to get a referral from your regular doctor to any specialist and it takes a lot of time to wait. Tell me why this is happening to me. A severe persistent headache begins that lasts 2-3 days, and then the left eye is filled with blood and severe lacrimation, and the headache does not go away. This has been happening all the time lately. Thank you.
Responsible Maykova Tatyana Nikolaevna:
Lyudmila, most likely half of your head hurts and then lacrimation and overflow of blood in the veins of the mucous membrane of the eye begin. This is similar to migraine-like pain and is quite difficult to treat. After all, according to my recommendations, you cannot write a prescription and get medicine there. You can relieve pain with solpadeine there. But keep in mind that this can be done no more than 2 times a month, like other painkillers like paracetamol, which you can buy there without a prescription. In any case, stop drinking coffee, tea, get enough sleep, walk. These pains may get worse. Then it is better for you to fly to Kiev for 1 day, you will be examined and prescribed the treatment that you will take there. There is no other way out.
Victor asks:
Please tell me, for two days in a row I have a pain in the back of my head, and at the same time my right eye is inflamed (red), it hurts to look at the light.
A couple of months ago it was the same. I went to the doctor, they didn’t make a diagnosis, they prescribed drops that helped a little. Please tell me what it could be?
Answers:
Hello Victor! Redness of the eye and photophobia are characteristic of conjunctivitis - inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eye. This disease is either viral or bacterial in nature. Any infection can lead to general intoxication of the body, one of the manifestations of which is a headache. Or maybe there is no connection between headache and conjunctivitis in your case. Then the cause of the headache can be high or low blood pressure and a number of other conditions and diseases. You need to contact an ophthalmologist and get recommendations for the treatment of conjunctivitis, and then consult a general practitioner and undergo a general examination with mandatory blood pressure control. Take care of your health!

They say that after giving birth my eyesight will deteriorate, is this true? If I use a lens that is not ours, my eyes hurt. Thanks in advance
Responsible Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello Siyana! Dry eyes can occur for a variety of reasons. There are syndromic dry eye, arteficial, as well as symptomatic, that is, associated with certain types of eye pathology and operations on the organ of vision, some hormonal disorders(in particular, thyroid pathology, diabetes mellitus, menopausal syndrome), a number of somatic diseases, local and enteral intake of certain drugs (for example, antidepressants), beriberi A. There are such forms of dry eye syndrome: recurrent microerosion of the cornea or conjunctiva of the eyeball, macroerosion of the cornea or conjunctiva of the eyeball, "dry" keratoconjunctivitis, "filamentous" keratitis. Each of the forms requires an individual approach to treatment, so do not delay seeking qualified medical help. Internal consultation of the doctor of the ophthalmologist is necessary for you. The complex of therapeutic measures should include diet correction, lifestyle modification, as well as the use of drugs that improve the reparative properties of tissues, for example, Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel.

Natalia asks:
Hello!
Periodically, some substance appears in the corners of my eyes (both external and internal), which crystallizes, I constantly try to remove it from my eyes, which causes terrible irritation in the corners, sometimes I rub it to such an extent that it bakes unbearably. I thought I was allergic to some kind of cream, changed it, still the same result. What could it be? Thanks for the answer.
Responsible Kozina Ekaterina Nikolaevna:
Hello, Natalia! You definitely need an internal consultation with an ophthalmologist. Unfortunately, in the format of a virtual consultation, an examination is not possible, and therefore making a diagnosis is practically impossible. And without an accurate diagnosis, it is even more impossible to prescribe the amount of therapeutic measures you need.
You most likely have conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, characterized by hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membrane, swelling and itching of the eyelids, separation and formation of follicles or papillae on the conjunctiva; sometimes with conjunctivitis, corneal lesions with visual impairment can be detected. There are infectious (bacterial, chlamydial, viral, fungal), allergic conjunctivitis and degenerative diseases of the conjunctiva. In each case, an individual approach to diagnosis and treatment is necessary, so a visit to the doctor should not be postponed. In complex treatment, tissue regeneration stimulants may be necessary, for example, Solcoseryl eye gel. Before starting the use of the drug, an internal consultation with an ophthalmologist is required.

Olga asks:
Good day! My eyesight has been deteriorating lately. I spend a lot of time at the computer. After consultation with an ophthalmologist, the following diagnoses were made: MAst OI, angiopathy of retinal vessels OI. What do these diseases mean and why are they dangerous? The doctor also said that I have a very pale and swollen con-va, the veins of the con-you and the eyelids are dilated, the bottom is smooth: the arteries are narrowed. a:b=1:2-3. What does this mean?
Responsible Kislitsyn Vasily Vladimirovich:
Weak myopic astigmatism is not a disease, but an anomaly of refraction, a feature of the optical system of the eye, it can be corrected with glasses if necessary. - vascular dystonia, etc.), 1:2:3 - the ratio of the caliber of the retinal arteries to the veins, in this case, is slightly narrowed, almost normal. In any case, retinal angiopathy says little and can simply be an individual feature.
Rest more, do eye exercises, buy monitor glasses, take vitamins for the eyes.
Artem asks:
Hello! I looked at the symptoms described on the site. Sovpader only burning eyes. I still have a feeling of pressure between the eyes, the temperature of the forehead is elevated, and my nose is also dry, it burns. Constant desire to lower the head as low as possible so that the blood rushes even more. What's this?
Responsible Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello Artyom! Red eye syndrome is a serious problem that requires a mandatory examination by an ophthalmologist. With red eye syndrome, it is very important to determine what underlies the violation of the condition of the organ of vision. Depending on the causes of the pathological condition, the optimal treatment in your particular case can be determined. The success of treatment lies in an individual approach to the appointment of a complex of therapeutic measures. Among the possible causes of eye redness, mechanical factors (exposure to foreign bodies, smoke particles, dust, decorative cosmetics, etc.), chemical factors (chlorinated water, soap, cosmetic preparations, etc.), allergens ( of various origins). Physical and visual strain can also lead to reddening of the eyes. In each case, an individual approach to treatment is important. A complex of therapeutic measures may include drugs that accelerate reparative processes in tissues, for example, Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel.

Masha asks:
Hello. My eyes hurt a lot, it hurts even to raise my eyes up or look to the side. I don’t sit at the computer. What should I do?
Responsible Medical consultant of the portal "site":
Hello Maria! Pain in the eyes is far from always associated with the pathology of the organ of vision itself - neurological, cardiovascular, endocrine and other diseases can lead to the appearance of this symptom. And yet, the first specialist you should contact for an appointment is an ophthalmologist. Based on the result of the examination and examination, the doctor will determine the need for further search for the cause of pain and may even immediately determine this cause and prescribe treatment. Take care of your health!
Responsible Kozina Ekaterina Nikolaevna:
Pain in the eyes accompanies more than a dozen diseases. And more often these are problems with blood pressure, cervical osteochondrosis, residual effects after infectious diseases. It makes sense to visit an ophthalmologist and discuss the scope of the examination to determine the causes of your complaints.
asks Novozhilova Anzhelika Yurievna:
Hello! I have a constant discomfort in my eyes. As they say: eyes drooping. Like the flu. An unpleasant slight burning sensation, the inability to look directly, a constant irresistible desire to close your eyes, these are the exact symptoms of sore (hoarse) eyes with a cold. But it's year round! Our doctors can't say anything. The eyes themselves look normal. Only a little cloudy, lost shine.
Responsible Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello Angelica Yurievna! The virtual consultation format has limited possibilities, so you need a face-to-face consultation with an ophthalmologist. Your complaints may indicate, in particular, the "dry eye" syndrome. Factors in the development of the syndrome of "dry eye" can be both diseases internal organs(most often, the organs of the endocrine system), and external: prolonged work at the computer, work in a room where there are heaters and air conditioners, dust, tobacco smoke. When working with a computer, do not forget to take breaks every hour for 10-15 minutes. During the break, do eye exercises. And in order for your eyes to rest: go to the window and look as far as possible, try to consider small details. Also, I recommend artificial tears, which are instilled during the working day. And in the morning and in the evening I recommend the use of Solcoseryl, a gel to improve nutrition, oxygen metabolism and regeneration of the cornea and conjunctiva.
Useful special vitamin complexes for the eyes, especially in the autumn-spring period. You can learn more about the problem from a feature article on our medical portal: Dry eyes are not a joy .... All the best!
Irina asks:
Hello. I am 23 years old. I have been wearing contact lenses since I was 15. The corners of the eyes turn sour almost as much potsoyanno (a typical white clot). When I forget to check every 2 hours, friends have to point it out delicately. Especially if in the sun and when physical activity. I asked the ophthalmologists, they don't seem to see any infections. They don't say how to fight. But this is at least not aesthetically pleasing, as a maximum, I tend to believe that some kind of infection still lives in my eye and I have permanent bags under my eyes .. can they be connected with this? Because I checked the kidneys more than once - Everything is okay. I used to think it was a reaction of the eye to the lens. But sometimes I can wear glasses for a week, and my eyes don’t stop turning sour. I heard that you can do some kind of sowing? This general analysis? Or is the fence made for some specific muck? I ask to prompt, on what it is necessary to insist at the oculist. Otherwise, in our polyclinics, until you yourself demand what you need, no one will offer anything. Thank you
Responsible Averyanova Oksana Sergeevna:
Often, prolonged wearing of lenses leads to dry eyes, in which tears can become more viscous. Try for a month to instill in your eyes (you can also on lenses) Hilo-chest - this is a moisturizer for the eyes based on hyaluronic acid. The drug is absolutely harmless and safe. If the condition does not improve and you decide to clarify the presence of bacterial flora, then for this you need to do a culture from the mucous membrane of the eyes - the conjunctiva for the presence of bacterial flora and at the same time conduct (in one study) determine the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics (in order to know how to treat infection).
Galina asks:
Hello, my eyeball is pulsating. A very unpleasant sensation, what is the reason for this? Thank you.
Responsible Budarina Oksana Viktorovna:
Hello. Dry eye syndrome is a complex various diseases, which can be based on both environmental factors (dry air, heaters, etc.), and violations of the state of a particular organ system (endocrine system, digestive system, connective tissue etc.). Therefore, an individual approach to both examination and treatment is required. Treatment depends on the cause of the development of dry eye syndrome and should be directed, first of all, to the elimination of the causes that led to the occurrence of dry eye syndrome. In this case, one cannot do without an internal consultation with an ophthalmologist. Don't waste time and don't risk your eyesight! The earlier treatment is started, the greater the chance of treatment success. The complex of therapeutic measures for dry eye syndrome may include drugs that improve tissue trophism, which enriches tissues with oxygen, moisturizes, and relieves discomfort when used daily at night for 10-14 days. For example, the drug Solcoseryl ophthalmic gel. You can learn more about the problem from a feature article on our medical portal: Dry eyes are not a joy .... All the best!
Allah asks:
A year ago, small dots appeared before my eyes that do not go away. I was examined by all the specialists, even did an MRI - everything is normal, but nothing goes away.
Responsible Medical consultant of the portal "site":
Hello Allah! Small dots (flies) before the eyes often occur in absolutely healthy people and are the result of nervous and mental overstrain. On the other hand, flies are often a symptom of myopia, astigmatism, and other visual disorders. Therefore, go through an examination with a good optometrist and find out the situation. If everything is in order with vision, proceed as follows. At the moment the flies appear before your eyes, concentrate and imagine that you have a black dot or one of the letters of the checklist in front of your eyes. Such an exercise leads to the disappearance of the flies. Take care of your health!
