Question:
On 2 seperate occasions, a few years apart, I've had strange visuals. The first time I saw what could only be described as "lightning bolts" in a bold color, just after feeling a pressure in my head. That lasted about 30 minutes. The next time, about 5 years later, I had what could only be called a "split screen" effect, lasting about 30 minutes. Diagnosed with "ocular migranes". I've never heard of this! also diagnosed with early cataract, periferal vision, from exposure to sun (live in Fla). any help appreciated... thanks
Answer:
Yes, I've had the same experiences. I have the light shows under control by staying away from certain food items as caffeine, Monosodium Glutamate(autolyzed yeast extract), artificial sweetners,and red wine. It isn't easy to do but worth it. These visual disturbances can be very scary.
