Flimsy Vision Last Night
a year ago
Last night I had a pretty scary experience and still unsure what happened or why.
Just any other day, just doing my thing as I draw the day's daily doodle. Just as I finish scanning and upload I notice a little dot in my vision, much like them light spots so I don't think much of it though I don't recall having looked into any lights to cause it. Oh well.
It doesn't go away and I start noticing it has changed shape. Amusing myself over it starting to look like amongus in shape, lol.
It's growing, starting to become a bit of an annoyance for me vision. I question where it's from, again I'm pretty sure I didn't look into my lamp to cause it.
Yeah it's definitely growing. And the outline around it is getting an odd zigzaggy lightning effect that really disturbs my vision.
It starts blocking my vision more and more. I can't see. Not completely blinded, I won't walk into any walls, but I can't see details or what my hands are doing. Trying to look anything up online I can't read. I'm fighting the urge to panic, trying to keep calm and just wait it out.
Finally it goes away, seemingly just grown so large the worst disturbance, the flickering outline, is now only in the corners of my eyes. Bit by bit my vision go back to normal and I can resume my night.
I have no frigging clue what that was about, I just hope it doesn't happen again.

Well, that's worrying, I'll second that hope.

It almost sounds like the visual aura I sometimes get when I have a migraine

For what it's worth, I started having migraines last year, and saw this sort of aura once WITHOUT a migraine following it. In my case, each time the aura grew larger, the area it previously blurred out became visible.

Sounds close to what I dealt with

I think I've had something similar before, for me it was a mees of static and color inside the shape. It did eventually go away, and don't quote me on this, but it may have something to do with sugar or salt intake or from staring at a bright object or screen too long. Not an after-image like usual, but a sort of "void" in your vision.

My mom gets those, says it's an eye floater that should be checked. Make sure to mention it to your primary doctor or eye doctor.
