laser eye retina surgery

When I was younger I received laser eye surgery and now it's common for me to see a green light.?
When I was younger I was hit directly in the eye with a tennis ball. I immediately went to the eye doctor and he told me that I needed to receive laser eye surgery or else my retina was going to detach from my eye. After surgery, it is common for me to see a green light flash in the corner of my eye, usually when at night or in dark areas. Is there a reason why this occurs?
OMG! You're the first person I've ever heard of that sees the same thing as me!
I dettached my retina in December of last year, so I am pretty much fully recovered. (surgery was about 2 months ago).
When I stand up or sit down too fast in dim lighting I see a lime green light move from the inner corner of my eye to the outside. I asked my specialist about it last week and he told me it was a common side effect from the buckle in your eye.
So everything is fine, its just very annoying huh?
