Hi MigraineTeam family
I haven't posted in a while, but I have been lurking. Lol. I have a new visual aura. In addition to the normal "sparkles" before the pain ramps up, I am now getting "eye exams".

I wrote you a long reply describing all the many changes my migraine has taken over the 63 years I've lived with them, but it disappeared. So rather than retype it again, here it is in a nutshell. Migraines and the auras change. Sometimes in a big scary way, sometimes subtle. There's nothing we can do to stop it. As long as you keep your doctor informed, it is the best thing you can do. I went from tiny twinkle lights to blinding yellow light that wiped out my vision in a split second. Plus, a bunch ofvother strange opticals. My doctor showed no concerns. But when ice pick headaches started up constantly, they did an MRI. No changes were noted. Just the white lesions like usual. So don't worry. Let your doctor do the worrying for you, and if you trust him, trust his judgment. Good luck!

These symptoms can affect one or both eyes and may appear as geometric shapes or shimmering spots. It's important to note that any new or changing visual symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare provider Show Full Answer
