Every once in a while, maybe once or twice a year, I get "electric" flashes in one eye, and a blind spot that darkens my vision and makes it very difficult to read. I had been to a doctor, who referred me to another doctor - both had thought it was something much worse, so I was happy to find out it was 'only' an ocular migraine! A relative of mine has regular migraines, with light/sound sensitivity and nausea, and those episodes are very painful and debilitating. My ocular migraines are very annoying but they're not actually painful and fade away after a week or two without any medication.Good luck!
