can you have migraine aura and visual snow at the same time

i have been have visual snow symptoms from 2 months but i was ignoring it because it was too mild.The symptoms are floaters,blue field entoptic phenomena,flickering dots mostly visible on walls and very conspicuous at the night when the lights are off. it does not bother me much . But from a couple of days i have been seeing visual aura which is assosiated with migraines without any pain in only my left eye. The aura lasts only for 10 min everyday and then dissapears. I just had my eyes dialated by an opthamologist and she said that my eyes were perfect. Do you probably know whats causing these symptoms out of the blue.

Any suggestion would be very helpful

Since you have seen an ophthalmologist an no problem found, if you have reoccurences of the aura you need to see a neurologist to see if this is an ophthalmic migraine or something more serious like atypical seizure, or TIA (transient ischemic attack) or cardio-vascular or neurological problem.
