Can bright lights cause flashes in vision? I'm getting a lot of anxiety from this

i recently made a post about stress and eye problems. I'm wondering if stress and bright lights can cause these weird flashes in vision? I was on my phone, before bed, with 75% or 100% brightness on, which is pretty bright esepcially in a dark bedroom. I'm really trying to stop my habit of using my phone before bed....overall, reduce my screen time. Well, after being on my phone, I turned it off and start to go to sleep. I stared at the walls and slowly drift off but I noticed that's ive been seeing flashes? They weren't anything extreme, just little flashes of light. They weren't that noticeable, I just happened to be focusing a lot on it. I of course went on my phone to search on google. But then I turned my brightness down and a few moments later, they start to slowly stop? Today, I've been at school and not looking at bright screens. I try really hard to focus to see if there is still any flashes. So far, I haven't been able to see flashes (thank goodness) except a really small flash after once again, playing on my iPad for a little while (brightness was also high, I just turned it down). Help, I'm really worrying about this only because it could mean a retinal detachment. I don't really feel any pain. My vision have been getting blurrier which is probably due to a lot more screen time and stress. Everything nowadays is on electronics and I have lots of homework on there. I also been playing games a lot more because of stress. I did have a few pain in the head a few times here and there.
