Floaters and Flashers

 

Floaters and Flashes - a visual phenomenon

Dr. Charles Vygantas 

 

Flashes and Floaters is a very interesting subject because we all have experienced these visual phenomena.  Many are nothing to worry about, but others are signs of serious eye problems or conditions.

Dr. Charles Vygantas is a board-certified Ophthalmologist in private practice.  He specializes in retinal and vitreous diseases and is well-known in the Chicago area.  He is a past president of the Chicago Ophthalmologist and a long time, dedicated member of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness.
