Visual auras during migraines can manifest in many different ways, including seeing various colors, shapes, and patterns. While your specific experience of neon red dots may seem unique, visual disturbances during migraines can include flashing lights, bright spots, geometric shapes, and various color phenomena. Each person's experience with migraine auras can be highly individual and unique to them. Members of MyMigraineTeam have reported experiencing a wide variety of visual disturbances, including colorful visual phenomena. Some have described seeing bright colors that hurt their eyes, kaleidoscope effects, and various other visual symptoms. If you're experiencing consistent visual symptoms with your migraines, it's important to continue documenting these experiences, even if your healthcare providers seem dismissive. Consider seeking a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in migraine treatment.
