[kittykat]

Just wondering if anyone else has had this, it started off with a kind of bright speck in my eye and then the shape changed to a kind of jaggy shape affecting my vision, but then it started flickering and moving,took about 10/15mins to go away didnt have a headache , is this serious could it be the start of a brain tumour kinda freaking out here

NO it is not a brain tumour it sounds like optical migraine.

Hello Kitty Kat, i get a lot of floaters in front of my eyes that are all different shapes along with a lot of blurred vision that brings on headaches. Apparently i dont need glasses lol but its to do with stress and working on a computer. Does this apply to you?

no tash, i do get floaters but these generally just come from no where xx

With the Zig-Zag shapes it sounds like an optical migraine.

I had it once and the doctor told me what it was. I didn't have it again.


Does it look like the Ophthalmic Migraine shown on Google Images (first picture)?

That's what mine was like a zig zag that started in the corner and travelled round in an arc shape over and over.
