An ocular migraine is a painless condition that causes visual disturbances such as a blind spot with flickering lights or a shimmering zig-zag pattern that often times move across your field of vision. Ocular migraines, caused by changes in blood flow, usually last 15-30 minutes. Although these symptoms can be alarmi...ng, ocular migraines are generally harmless. However, it’s always best to consult your eye doctor when you have unusual vision symptoms as they can sometimes indicate more serious conditions such as a detaching retina, which needs immediate attention. -Dr. Assell
