Extractions: Thank you. Answered by Richard E. Gans, M. D. ( xx102@ofcn.org Migraine is a term that refers to a constellation of symptoms, associated with periodic, severe headaches. There are a number of different sub-classifications of migraine. The names of these subsets change with time, but they typically describe the varying symptoms associated with the headaches. Migraines often have visual symptoms. People sometimes use the terms "ophthalmic migraine" or "ocular migraine" to refer to the type of migraines that have visual symptoms. The reference relates to visual symptoms and not somatic symptoms; that is, to things that the individual "sees" rather than things that the individual "feels". To my knowledge, it is not common for migraine to produce the symptoms that you describe. If the symptoms persist or recur, I would advise that you seek the attention of a physician who is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of migraines. In general, neurologists diagnose and treat migraines.

At Eye Centers Of Florida Light flashes appearing as wavy lines in both eyes and lasting from a few minutes to halfan-hour, are usually a sign of an ocular migraine headache. http://www.see-your-best.com/webpages/floaters.htm
Extractions: Floaters are small pieces of material that form in the vitreous the clear fluid that fills the interior cavity of the eye. Floaters are usually clumps of condensed protein or cells, seen as small specks or strands moving into your field of vision. They may have the appearance of a small insect or cobweb. What causes floaters? In most cases, floaters are part of the natural aging process. As we grow older, the vitreous shrinks causing the development of cloudy clumps of vitreous which are seen as floaters (fig. 1). This is common among those who are nearsighted or who have undergone cataract surgery. While they may interfere with clear vision, floaters usually present no threat to your eye and are more of an annoyance than a visual impediment. In many people between 60-70 years of age, the shrinking vitreous gel in the eye pulls free of its attachment to the back of the eye at the optic nerve (fig. 2). When this happens, a large floater is usually seen which can resemble a cob web. This is frequently associated with the sensation of flashing lights as a result of the vitreous pulling on the retina. This separation of the vitreous from the back of the eye is called a posterior vitreous detachment. During this separation, tears can develop in the retina which can lead to a retinal detachment. Early detection and treatment of tears can prevent a retinal detachment.

Welcome To The National Ophthalmic Activities Symptoms of ocular migraine are almost always in one eye. In general there is no serious ocular complications caused by retinal migraine. http://www.tnoa.net/patienteducation/ocularmigrane.htm
Extractions: Ocular Migraines Ocular migraines (or retinal migraines) can cause symptoms related to the classic or common migraine. In fact, ocular migraines generally occur in young adults who have had a previous history of common migraines. Also, older people can experience ocular migraines without headache symptoms. Symptoms of ocular migraine are almost always in one eye. Quite often, a gray or visual disturbance which starts centrally and moves off to the side marks the beginning of an ocular migraine. Usually, this can last twenty to sixty minutes. Other common symptoms are loss of vision in one eye and increased sensitivity to bright lights.

Rapid Clinical Reports Neuro-Ophthalmology/Orbit Specialty News and Views The Specialty News and Views section represents the opinions of the contributing authors and does not imply endorsement by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Cortical blindness part of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome Cortical blindness occurring in the setting of hypertensive encephalopathy, eclampsia, and cytotoxic medications is likely to be part of the posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). PRES is a clinicoradiologic condition characterized by headaches, confusion, cortical visual impairment, seizures, and transient multiple MRI changes. Typical MRI lesions are located in the posterior white matter with some involvement of the overlying cortex. The lesions are hyperintense on T2-weighted images and are hypointense or isointense on diffusion-weighted images. The diffusion coefficient is increased indicating vasogenic edema presumably caused by the breakdown of endothelial autoregulation. Visual prognosis is considered favorable, with decreased vision lasting from hours to days. Treatment of the hypertension or discontinuation of the inciting agent is critical to recovery.
