Why are some lights seemingly not flickering when I’m looking right at them, but they are when it’s in the corner of my eye ?

It’s usually only with the cheaper led bulbs. I can’t convince others that I’m only seeing it flicker when not directly looking at it.

Streaks of light that appear briefly in your visual field are known as flashers. Some people compare these flashes to lightning or shooting stars.

Eye flashers are associated with the vitreous humor inside your eye. Vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the majority of your eyeball. This gel allows light to enter the eye via the lens, and it is connected to the retina. If vitreous gel bumps or pulls on the retina, you may see flashes of light in the corner of your eye.
