Seems it could be associated with a tear or detachment (along with a host of other things, including migraine without headache).

"The top 3 most common causes of unilateral photopsias or phosphenes that an ophthalmologist will encounter are caused by (1) posterior vitreous separation, (2) retinal break/tear, and (3) migraine with aura (with or without headache)....
"Flashes of light are a common visual symptom, most often warranting an urgent retinal exam to rule out a retinal tear or retinal detachment from the mechanical effects of vitreous tugging on the retina."
