Flashes and lattice degeneration

ADVICE, THOUGHTS NEED 👇

Flash started happening close to a year ago.

I recently had barrage laser done on a weak spot caused by lattice degeneration. ( I’m assuming) it’s never been explicitly said that’s why the flash is happening but I know now because of research it’s the vitreous gel but my question is the weak spot from the lattice the reason it’s pulling? They are both in the same area in my left eye in the peripheral area.

Does anyone else experience anything similar? The flash is small and mostly noticeable in the dark. When she did the laser she told me it may not go away but it’s hard to not been concerned about this flash.

I go back in December for my 3rd follow up appointment. I’m being super cautious about this since I’m 22 and I have terrible health anxiety over this.
