last summer i was at the computer and lost my central vision, just the central vision, this lasted about 15 min and really scared me. The next day i was having flashes of white spots in both eyes, i went to the ER and had a c/t scan, i was cleared of anything going on. i went to my eye doctor and he said i had ocular migraine, ( i dont have migraine headaches) since last summer i have had two more of the odd flashes of light in both eyes, my vision is good for my age (71)
when this isnt going on. (i have also had an MRI which also showed nothing bad. i just try to stay calm when this happens,

Sounds like macular migraine. Mine start with the crescent shaped moving lights. Then the blind spot. It lasts 15-20 minutes. I started having these years ago after a car accident. In the beginning, I had them several times a day but frequency reduced over time. Now I have them once or twice a year. They always come when I'm stressed.

Thank you for your reply! Oddly enough, I was at the computer when mine started and most of my notes, they have declared as migraine. The strange part is, it's never completely gone away. I know what you mean though, deep breathing and staying calm in a situation is hard sometimes!
They placed me on migraine medicine and it helped with pain but the vision issues still are there.
