Anyone experienced “sparkling” or “kaleidoscope-like” dysphotopsia?

No I am sorry it does not. Mine is like a Kaleidoscope like you mentioned. It would begin at one place in my eye and slowly travel around the whole eye before it was done. While it is happening it is an array of all pastel colors moving like a kaleisdoscope, the shape like v's going in different directions, up and down, but remains uniform until it has finished the whole eye. It is like looking through crystal. I was told at Kelloge eye center near UofM in Michigan, that it was a type of migraine headaches without the pain.

@chrispie As someone else mentioned, this is called a visual migrane. My wife and I both experience these fairly often. They are common. Usually last about 10 minutes and start off very tiny and slowly spread to encompass much of the vision field. As far as I can tell it is in the brain, not the eye. I have been getting them for 30 years or so. Maybe one a month then none for several months. Has nothing to do with headaches, in fact I never get headaches at all. No doctor has ever said it is anything dangerous. A strange affliction of humans.
