Ocular migraine?

[CassieNYC]

Since you were really hungry, also check your blood sugar. When my blood sugar gets very low, my vision goes wonky.

Doc says it wasn't an ocular migraine. After a very thorough series of tests he said I had a vitreous detachment in my left eye. He said there was no reason I can't dive and to call him if I have another episode.
My ophthalmologist is also a diver.

Sorry to hear about this event, but very glad you got a definite answer, that doesn't preclude more diving!

I've got that in both eyes. Damn age related bs. Doesn't stop me from doing anything but it is annoying.

Chilly, I hear ya about age related bs. I am 58 and finally understand what my dad said years ago. Getting old ain't for sissies.

Die in the saddle and get buried in my boots. Hopefully not the SCUBA version of that.

I plan on being a grumpy old bastard.

I think mine are stress related and seem to come in groups, rarely just a single episode. I'll be fine for months, then have 3 - 5 in a week. Luckily a couple aspirin clears it. The worst included an episode of aphasia, had me thinking it was a stroke. Aphasia lasted about 30 minutes. I knew what I wanted to say but the words came out 'blrrrrk gkfdslg erew'.

I saw my PC NP after that episode, got a diagnosis. Until then, I thought everyone experienced the wavy lines from time to time.

Wow, that sounds more like a TIA, than an ocular migraine.
