I keep seeing little blue sparks that pop up randomly but very frequently in my vision , they are very small … but I know this isn't normal, and it seems to be getting more frequent .
Answer:
Everyone can have random spots that they see, however blue sparks are not something to mess with. I live in a remote area and had problems with hemorrhaging in both eyes, when I started to have deep blue sparks I put it down as a hemorrhaging side effects so put off making a long trip to the physician. When I did make it to my ophthalmologist my retinas were detaching and I was told that blue sparks were a common sign of this. Even if your sparks turn out to be nothing, it is most important to see an ophthalmologist. An optometrist will help you with eyeglasses and such but an ophthalmologist has the necessary (and painless) equipment for looking at your retinas. If this is a retinal problem you need to be seen very quickly as early stages can often be treated but waiting can cause permanent irreversible damage. It might be a bit of a cost now to find that nothing is the matter, but extremely costly to wait and pay for the operations to attempt to fix retinal problems. I found this out the hard way. Best of luck - I hope this turns out to be nothing!!

What are alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence?
Alcohol abuse means having unhealthy or dangerous drinking habits, such as drinking every day or drinking too much at a time. Alcohol abuse can harm your relationships, cause you to miss work, and lead to legal problems such as driving while drunk (intoxicated). When you abuse alcohol, you continue to drink although you know your drinking is causing problems.
If you continue to abuse alcohol, it can lead to alcohol dependence. Alcohol dependence is also called alcoholism. You are physically or mentally addicted to alcohol. You have a strong need, or craving, to drink. You feel like you must drink just to get by.
You might be dependent on alcohol if you’ve three or more of the following problems in a year:
You can’t quit drinking or control how much you drink.
You need to drink more to get the same effect.
You’ve withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking. These include feeling sick to your stomach, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety.
You spend a lot of time drinking and recovering from drinking, or you have given up other activities so you can drink.
You’ve tried to quit drinking or to cut back the amount you drink but haven't been able to.
You continue to drink even though it harms your relationships and causes you to develop physical problems.
Alcoholism is a long-term (chronic) disease. It's not a weakness or a lack of willpower. Like many other diseases, it has a course that can be predicted, has known symptoms, and is influenced by your genes and your life situation.
How much drinking is too much?
Alcohol is part of many people’s lives and may have a place in cultural and family traditions. It can sometimes be hard to know when you begin to drink too much.
You are at risk of drinking too much and should talk to your physician if you are:1
A woman who has more than 3 drinks at one time or more than 7 drinks a week. A standard drink is 1 can of beer, 1 glass of wine, or 1 mixed drink.
A man who has more than 4 drinks at one time or more than 14 drinks a week.
If you think you might have a drinking problem, take a short quiz to check your symptoms:

What are some signs of alcohol abuse or dependence?
Certain behaviors might mean that you're having trouble with alcohol. These include:
Drinking in the morning, being drunk often for long periods of time, or drinking alone.
Changing what you drink, such as switching from beer to wine because you think it will help you drink less or keep you from getting drunk.
Feeling guilty after drinking.
Making excuses for your drinking or doing things to hide your drinking, such as buying alcohol at different stores.
Not remembering what you did while you were drinking (blackouts).
Worrying that you won't get enough alcohol for an evening or weekend.
How are alcohol problems diagnosed?
Alcohol problems might be diagnosed at a routine physician visit or when you see your physician for another problem. If a partner or friend thinks you’ve an alcohol problem, he or she may urge you to see your physician.
Your physician will ask questions about your symptoms and past health, and he or she’ll do a physical exam and sometimes a mental health assessment. The mental health assessment checks to see whether you may have a mental health problem, such as depression.
Your physician also may ask questions or do tests to look for health problems linked to alcohol, such as cirrhosis.
How are they treated?
Treatment depends on how bad your alcohol problem is. Some people are able to cut back to a moderate level of drinking with help from a counselor. People who are addicted to alcohol may need medical treatment and might need to stay in a hospital or treatment center.
Your physician might decide you need detoxification, or detox, before you begin treatment. Detox flushes out the alcohol in your body. You need detox when you are physically addicted to alcohol. When you go through detox, you might need medicine to help with withdrawal symptoms.
After detox, you focus on staying alcohol-free, or sober. Most people receive some type of therapy, such as group counseling. You also might need medicine to help you stay sober.
When you’re sober, you've taken the first step toward recovery. To gain full recovery, you need to take steps to improve other areas of your life, such as learning to deal with work and family. This makes it easier to stay sober.
You will likely need support to stay sober and in recovery. This can include counseling and support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. Recovery is a long-term process, not something you can achieve in a few weeks
Answer:
That doesn't really sound all that abnormal. I've never heard of any eye conditions that cause you to see sparks. Are you sure they're not floaters? Also, anytime you look into a light it can cause you to see things like that.
And your parents lied; you normally go once a year but you can schedule an appointment in between checkups if you need it. They probably just don't want to pay for it or don't want to take you. If you're really concerned, just keep nagging them about it. Tell them if they loved you they'd be more concerned about your health. I'm not saying that don't, but that could work. xD
Answer:
Get to a doctor quickly. I had a vision problem that could have been fixed easily with a laser. I waited too long and ended up having to get three operations. At least I've still got two eyes.
