A few days ago when I woke up, I went into the restroom and when I looked at the wall I noticed a small line in my vision. It was sort of like an afterimage; when I blinked, it was brought out in full contrast, however after I opened my eye again it disappeared until the next time I blinked. I covered my right eye (the line was in my left) and discovered that if I simply looked through my eye, even while blinking, the line would go away until I opened both eyes again. This caused me a great deal of panic because I had not looked at anything bright, I'd just woken up! It seemed to be sort of a "bright" black color. However this went away with 30 minutes or so and I tried to forget about it.
Then that evening it happened again, only this time in the right eye! It was the exact same thing, except maybe not quite as noticeable as the first, and went away in maybe 15 minutes.
Now, this morning upon waking up, I have the same one in my left eye again. It seems to be fading already, but it worries me that it's in the same spot. Could there be something wrong with the vessels in my eye? Or is it a migraine aura? I haven't had a headache with any of these episodes but maybe it's related to stress. . .
It's just been a single line every time, it seems to get SLIGHTLY longer as it wears on before it disappears. But it's so small, it doesn't seem like the representations of migraine auras I've seen. I'm just worried because even after excessive googling I can't find anything to describe this, or that even comes close besides an aura. I guess I should be glad that it doesn't seem to be a precursor to anything bad, but I'm still worried.
(And by the way, I had my eyes checked twice by two eye doctors this year already, and even had my retinas checked, and everything was fine. Could something serious change so quickly?)
