Seeing weird lights

[MorningAngel]

Ive been seeing these silver like lines, triangles and star types, sometimes lasting for hours. what could be cause of this?

[Michael J Kutryb, MD]

Yes, visual migraine would be way up on the list of possibilities.  Please see an ophthalmologist for a complete dilated exam.

Oh, but I forgot to add, you should go see your ophthalmologist or optometrist to know for sure.......

Good luck!

I am not an ophthalmologist, (nor do I play one on TV), but I work in the field. It could be ocular migraines. (yes, they exist and you don't have to have a headache to have them)

I see something very similar to this too but I have it 24/7 and it never goes away. :( I have been to both a Ophthalmologist and Neuro-Ophthalmologist but they say that my optic nerves are okay.

I have also tried Migraine Medicine due to my doctors thinking it was an ocular migraine, but it didn't help at all. :(

May I ask, did you ever have your Retina fully examined? My Doctor ordered that I have that done to rule out a problem within the Retina. I hope you feel a whole lot better very soon!!!! Good Luck and Best Wishes!!!!!! :) :)
