Georgia I will also add that when the quick flashes of moving light happens to me it tends to be in one of my eyes only not both. I have Uveitis in both of my eyes but one eye is more prone to these type of flares & that is typical of Uveitis. I am only speculating that if it is happening in both of your eyes it might be more neurological like MG & maybe get in touch with your neurologist. Hope this helps.
Hi Georgia, Do the you see the flashes of light when your eyes are closed or open? I get colorful pixelated flashes of light when I am having an ocular migraine. This isn’t always accompanied by a painful headache like you would expect with a traditional migraine attack. BUT when I see sudden quick flashes of bright light move across my eye when my eyes are open or closed it is a danger sign for me to get in to see my Occular Immunologist. I have the autoimmune disease Uveitis. And it causes sight threatening inflammation in my eye, my retina & optic nerve. I am not trying to alarm you but I would definitely get yourself to an Opthalmologist not Optometrist for a look at the back wall of your eye particularly your retina. For me the flashes of light are a tugging that happens from inflammation which signals to my brain that it’s seeing light that really is not there. Like I said I don’t want to scare you but it’s something that you should get checked out to be safe.
When I called my retina specialist, he treats my macular degeneration, they were very concerned. I haven't had the weird lighting bolts but maybe a few small flashes. If they return I will call tonight or if they don't reoccur I'll call on Monday. What ever it is they said I might have to go to the hospital. My brain can't handle any more diseases. It seems that other health conditions occur with MG

Idk if it's MG related but I turn 65 this month, last year my eyes were extremely light sensitive, this yr I did have flashes of light, in June I got a wrinkle in my eye.
Haven't seen my neuropthamologist yet and will let him know.
Do the same.
Stay hopeful 😎
Based on the available information about myasthenia gravis (MG) and vision symptoms, flashes of light or lightning bolts are not typical symptoms of MG. The main vision-related symptoms of MG include:
• Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
• Double vision (diplopia)
• Blurry vision
• Dry eyes
• Difficulty focusing
