Flaah in eye

hi i posted on here 13 months ago about seeing flashes in the corner of my right eye. I saw an optician who said the jelly in my eye was coming away and he had found a small tear so made an appointment for me to see an eye specialist at the hospital. if i remember correctly at the appointment 6 weeks later the flashing had stopped and the specialist said the tear was tiny, could be lasered if i wanted but was better to leave it because if there was a detachment later it would be easier to fix. I also remember him saying something about its common in women in their 30s who wear glasses just forget about it. So i did until i noticed the flashes again this week. I went back to see a different optician who said the jelly in my eye is thinning but not coming away and he doesnt think it will for a long time and the tear is actually a hole that ive probably has since birth. Its perfectly round and looks fine nothing like a horse show shape he would expect with a tear. Hes going to email the hospital to compare scans but couldnt see anything wrong.

Im still getting these flashes in the evening and its filling me with dread. what could it be?
