Medical Forum / General / Vision / September 2007benign explanation for "string of lights" ?
If migraine implies headache, let's rule out migraine. I've experienced 0 migraines and a total of a dozen or so headaches in my entire life (usually from hunger). It is possible that I checked out a dim flashlight this morning, half asleep. The "D" batteries proved good, but the bulb looked dim orange/yellow. Is it possible that I was seeing a persistent image of the filament? Thanks to everyone, for a wide spectrum of thoughts, H.K. > If migraine implies headache, let's rule out migraine. Let's don't. 10-20% of migraine occurs without headache. If your visual symptoms were in both eyes and interfered with your right field only, it's pretty hard to attribute it to anything else. -MT > <Herbert.Ko...@gmail.com> wrote > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > -MT The visual symptoms seemed identical in both eyes, opened or closed: a bright well-defined curved line, slightly "southwest" of the center of vision. The curve moved with the eyes. And then, after some forty-five minutes, it just disappeared ... Still sounds like a painless migraine? -H.K.

After-images don't usually last 45 minutes, nor do they expand before they suddenly disappear, IMHO. One can find pictures of the scintillating scotomas of migraine, and many of them, as reported by patients, have an arcuate, or scalloped shape that would seem to resemble your half heart. |
