Re: Lightning /colors/triangles

So glad to find this info on lightning flashes in the eye! I got my first one on a super-stressful day a couple of weeks ago, while Xmas shopping. It's recurred many, many times since then, always as a backward "C" shape at the far edge of my right visual field.

It's nothing like what I call "the jaggies"--a classic migraine aura composed of neatly stepped zig-zags. It's exactly like a miniature lightning flash--white-light and very randomly jagged. It's recurred daily since then, but I've had no other visual problems or headaches associated with it. It's just scary to have something that anomalous happening in my eye, since I'm an artist.

The same day I had the first one, I also had a sudden increase in floaters in that eye, but have been too busy traveling to get myself to a doctor for an exam. I'm planning on doing so this week though, since I'm 61 and diabetic and just want someone to have a look at that eye.
