problems with busy patterns

[Danny13579]

I have been experiencing this now for 6 months. Busy patterns and patterns with lines close together like supermarket shelves make my eyes guy crazy. Its like the lines shake/vibrate a bit but goes away when looking through wither eye.
It does not happen all the time but it is noticeable. No other symptoms, no blurred vision, weakness in limbs, dno dizziness or anything like that. I have been to several opthalmologists and a neurologist. Opthalmologist said that it is not my eyes  so I went to neurologist who did  an EEG and looked at an MRI did did 6 months ago. Everything is completely normal. He said whatever it was I hadn't had a seizure, stroke or tumour. Occipital lobes are fine. Brain is totally fine. Told me no need to do another MRI. Basically sent me on my way. When I asked him what he thought it was, he mentioend its could b a complication of migraine as I suffer from Ocular migraines but those have started to reside over the last year or so. He has prescribed Verapamill but doesn't sound to hopefull.
Has anyone else had any experience with this

Thankyou Doctor. I appreciate your response.

What will the Neuro-Opthalmologist be able to test for that the neurologist can't do?

Do you think that this type of thing, if it is migraine variant might it resolve on its own? Is their any medication for this?

Do you think that it could be an eye teaming problem because it resolves if i close either eye.

Thanks again

It is probably a migraine variant.  Consider seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist.
