Do I see a flash when I close my eyes?

It is possible to see a flash of light when you close your eyes due to a phenomenon called phosphene. Phosphenes are the sensation of seeing light without light actually entering the eye. This can be caused by pressure on the eye, rubbing the eyes, or even just closing them tightly. If you are experiencing frequent or persistent flashes of light, it is recommended to consult an eye care professional for further evaluation.
