Default Has anyone ever experienced an Ocular Migraine?

My symptoms was seeing a wavy line in my right eye, almost like I was looking through a glass of water. After about 20 minutes it went away, then followed by a mild headache. I thought I was experiencing a detached retina. Scary stuff!!

What you are describing is typically called an "aura". Some people who have migraines get these each time before the actual pain starts. Others have them infrequently or not at all but still experience the pain. It is kinda freaky but now you know when this starts next time you can get to some medication that can stop it before it begins.

I was having them daily for a while about a year ago. At first I had no idea what was going on I thought I was going blind or something. The worst part about it is how fatigued you feel. It also causes serious issues with driving when you frequently have ocular migraines. I talked to an optometrist and found out extended amounts of physical activity can trigger an ocular migraine. I have since toned down my work out and haven't had an ocular migraine since.
