Sometimes when I'm at work, I'll see a lot of flashing lights and get really dizzy, since my vision is temporarily impaired. However, it goes away pretty quickly, and I don't think too much about it. I attribute it to not getting enough sleep recently.
Today was different -- I wasn't in my office; rather while I was driving, I noticed a huge flash of light in my left eye, similar to how you see a patch of light after someone takes your photo with a flash. The scary part was that the flash wouldn't go away, and it created a blind spot in my eye, so I could only see things partially.
It was off and on today, and I'm not really the type to rush to the doctor, so I figured it would go away. Finally, around 6PM, I gave in and called the doctor. I've got an appointment at 10AM tomorrow; hopefully, it's nothing serious!

yeah hopefully it's nothing serious.
Hope it's nothing serious...I get really nauseous and disoriented with flashing lights like strobes. Get some rest.
hope u find out what it is. could be hypoglycemia (sp?)?
I think it's stress. It happened to me once. I was at work when all of a sudden, I couldn't see out of a part of one eye, like something blocking it. That night I was so sick- major headache and feeling naesous. I managed to open the window to let fresh air in and I felt better.
When I'm stress and tired, I see flashing lights, too.
