Visual Disturbances

by rennur, Sep 04, 2007 07:54PM
Well, recently I've been seeing strange colored dots in my vision, an occasional black line seems to shoot across my vision.  Now and then I notice weird shadow figures roaming around my vision.  When I look at light there seems to be lines of it  streaking everywhere, this all started after a bad migraine.  It's apparently "visual aura" I've had this for several months.  Am I going to have to deal with this the rest of my life?

Visual aura's don't last several months. They are there max for about the duration of a eye migraine attack (say 30 minutes to several hours).

You need to see an ophthalmologist (Eye MD) preferably a neuro-ophthalmologist.
