Depends on the diagnosis. A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed.
Possible migraine.
It may be from a retina problem or near/vascular- see an ophthalmologist.
Could be a migraine, with or even without a headache.
Two reasons are possible:

1. Retinal vitreal traction, usually associated with flashes of light.
2. Migraine symptoms associated with microvascular spasms due to chemical or hormone imbalances in your system.
