Sometimes I get an 'episode' of jagged lights sort of flashing in my line of vision and I can't see right for 20 minutes! Why does this happen and does anyone else get it?

Answer:

it is a form of a migraine without getting the nasty headache. It is not anything to worry about. If it happens very frequently you get the same treatment as a regular migraine

---

yes get some glasses

---

You need to see a neurologist and get this diagosed. There is no way anyone can have a clue what it might be without tests. See a doc and get this checked out before something serious happens.

---

Well my guess would be that you have a bit of psi ability and i also see light sometimes

---

either uve been out in the sun too long or someone keeps taking pics

---

Lights like that can be a symptom of migraine headaches, but if you don't have migraines you need to see an eye doctor--quick. The health of your eyes isn't something to fool around with.

Are these episodes accompanied by a headache?

I get the same type episode that you describe and have since I was 12. My doctor told me that something causes the blood vessels in your head to clamp down which causes the vision disturbance, then pain. There is a medication that will reduce the amount of time that the episode lasts. I can't remember the name, though. Sorry.

You need to see the Doctor. This is one of the signs of a retina detachment. Are your eyes very sensitive to light ? A lot of people have floaters but floaters are there all the time.

Flashbacks from all the LSD you have done

---

I d go see a doctor. have your blood checked. could be a blood sugar problem. either too high or too low

---

sounds like your doc is a quack.....it could be the internet glare on the eyes.

get u some B12 and melt under tongue.

Eat carrots for the eyes, and keep lights turn dim at your home, wear sunglasses.
