I've had occasional ocular migraines for about 20 years. They aren't painful. They show up as golden, wavy distortions in my visual field. I can't work or drive when it's in effect. Typically triggered by staring at a screen for a long time without a break.
- macintux 9y agoInteresting. Definitely in my case it was an afterimage, but my family is prone to migraines.
- metaobject 9y agoI've had ocular migraines for many years as well, maybe 10-15 per year. No pain either, but I've been unable to correlate their occurrence with any specific activity. They just (seemingly) pop up out of nowhere.
- psyc 9y agoI may be biased since, honestly, I'm never not staring at a monitor.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoI get those as well, usually no pain, but definitely some discomfort and nausea. I still haven't been able to identify a clear trigger, though I think it may be dehydration.
- code_duck 9y agoI have spent a lot of time flameworking 2200 degree glass on a giant flame right in front of my face, and also staring at a monitor... the monitor makes my eyes more bloodshot and sore.
