Could eye flashes caused by filler injections?

Asked By:Lara0003

Yesterday I had Restylane injections, in face, under the eye and in the forehead between my eyes (frown line). I woke up today with light flashes in the periphery of my right eye when I move my eye up and and down. Could these flashes be caused by the filler injections?
