Occular Migraine? Aura without headache?

Absolutely! I have had ocular migraines (with no pain) for years. The first one about scared me to death. In the last year, they have increased greatly in frequency - to the point where most evenings I have the fluttery edge to my vision. I do not have glaucoma. I did have cataracts (I just had the second eye done today), and having cataracts removed did nothing to stop the "fluttering". My eye doctor said it is an issue for a neurologist - because the problem is not the eye, it's what's going on in the brain that is affecting the vision. Haven't gotten to a neurologist yet, because I have other issues I'm dealing with and this gives me no pain.

I just want to say when I saw your screen name it made me burst out laughing! Obviously you have a good sense of humor. That could easily be my screen name too. Thanks for a good laugh!

Have you identified triggers?
