Migraine with Aura both eyes ?

[BlueIris]

Because they normally come from the brain, you should be able to see an aura from either eye. If you can only see it in one, it might be a retinal migraine - these are different but also harmless.

Thanks will pay specific attention if another one occurs. :-)

Thankyou for all the replies peeps, I get them in both eyes at the same time, I can also see the multi coloured rainbow effect when both eyes are shut too. Im trying Magnesium supplements at the moment only the 2nd day in but will keep you all updated if you wish, you never they may help.

My auras are in both eyes. I started taking a health supplement for them and they went away. migra T was the name of the supplement.

"Migraine with Aura both eyes ?"

I didn't read the replies or much of the question so I do apologise if it's already been said, but an aura in both eyes is very reassuring because it's specific to migraines. It's when the aura occurs in only one eye that it would point to other things like small seizures coming from the back of the brain or glaucoma etc.

So no, you can move on reassured that this is not a form of seizure or anything worse.

I was diagnosed with migraines with aura as a child. At first I didn't know what had hit me and was really worried. I found going to the GP and being told what was going on with me was really reassuring. If you haven't already done so, I would recommend it so they can provide you with reasurance/ possible medication to help. Will also be good to keep them 'in the know' that you suffer from them.

Oh and just to add, I have never been told that I can't drive.

Just had this 2 days ago, I was coming down with the flu, it was in both eyes, blind spot first and then flickering zigzag lights in my far left field of vision.. lasted about 20 minutes. Dull headache after, nothing terrible.
