Why do I see light when I close my eyes in a dark room? As one grows older, the vitreous humor that fills the center cavity of the eye becomes more liquid and begins to shrink. This causes the vitreous to pull away from retina creating occasional bright bursts of light or flashes that are seen when the eyes are closed.
