I see a spiral, flashing light for about 15-30 min, what could that be?

  • Transient visual episodes that are described as 15-30 minutes of a gradually enlarging kaleidoscope, jagged lines, spiral of light, etc. In one or both eyes that completely resolves is most likely an ocular migraine. 
  • Many times, this is the aura that can precede a typical migraine headache, but quite often patients only experience the visual portion and never develop the headache. 
  • While this can be very disturbing the first time it occurs, it typically does not leave any residual visual damage.
