I haven't had it for a few years now, since I flushed a bunch of junk

hard to explain.  ...Like watching an old 8mm move that's been slowed
down just a bit.

I know that prior to trying the peroxide mixture, I could feel pain if I
pushed on my one eyeball. -- As in rubbing it.  The salt water
irrigation alone did nothing to stop this, but the H²O² mixture
seemed to cure it.   Now I can rub my eyes with no pain, and I don't see
that flicker effect any more either.  I don't have a clue if there's any
connection between the two, but curing one, seemed to cure the other.

I am not sure what the flashes in your eye were like, or how long it
lasted?  But there is such a thing as a visual migraine.  You can have
no pain, but you see a jagged like figure in your eye that flickers.
I have had them and they last up to 5 min.
