What is an Occular migrane (migraine), what are its chief symptoms and what causes it?

An ocular migraine is a migraine headache without the headache.  This means that patients usually have the visual symptoms such as flickering lights or even temporary loss of part of their visual field.  Some people later develop the headache assoc with the visual symptoms.  The treatment would be similar to that of a migraine, however most elect no treatment since there is no pain.
