Had them or similar for years. Can come in phases with months in between.Have mentioned them to GPs and docs at the Eye clinic that I've been attending for years, but nobody seems bothered or tried to explain them.
Coincidentally I've had quite a patch of them recently and some of them did have a headache attached for the first time. Normally I just pretend they're not there and have no idea what triggers them.
And even more coincidentally, only a week or so ago I googled a description, likening them to black and white shimmering stripes, rather like a zebra crossing but of any shape, and found loads of articles , calling them ocular migraine, migraine with aura, etc - but nobody seems to be able to designate the cause or cure!
Coincidence times three - I found a thread on Gransnet - way back last year - I think - can't remember what it was called now!
