Has anyone seen these in their field of vision??? I was just getting a cup out of the cabinet and I saw 4-5 white lines scrolling down in front of me like i was watching end credits in a movie ..it's kind of very shocking and I don't know if I should call my neuro about this or what it could be for my eyes to just randomly do that.

Yes, I get them. About a quarter of the time I get a migraine within a few hours. It is called an "aura". If you are on a birth control pill with estrogen, you need to talk to your doctor.

I DON'T SEE THAT. BUT I HAVE READ THAT WHEN YOU SEE THEM A MIGRAINE MAY BE COMING ON. I SEE FLASHES OF LIGHT WHEN I AM IN A DARK ROOM. IT HAS ZIG ZAG LINES WITH BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT. IT ONLY LAST A FEW SECONDS.

I get similar, bright flashes and peripheral vision goes away or gets really blurry. The last eye doctor said my eye was excellent so the double vision and dark spot in line of vision along with floaters connected by dark lines are in the brain then? He didn't know. Suppose to be opthalmologist but did nothing more than what the optometrist did. He said silent migraine but my optometrist ruled that out a year ago. Why would it just start when all the ms symptoms did
