I am 84, but a number of years ago I was getting large "floaters" in my vison that looked like rafts full of pyramids. They were in focus and appeared after too many hours of research on the computer or a stressful day. I too had an MRI and MRA and a whole lot of other tests, but nothing. Then a few weeks ago I mentioned them to an ophthalmologist while being tested for cataracts. "Sounds exactly like optical migraines," he said and, from what I have read, it appears he was correct,
Keep the faith, the answer is probably out there were you least expect it.

...as reading your comment as you desribed the floaters... i too have floaters from vitreous laser; but also since a child Ocular Migraines and hard to describe but your description is good.... I have said like a semi circle of ZxzZZxxZ joined together that are very bright and you can 'see' them with eyes closed too.... used to get the severe one sided headache with them and vomit but as aged the headaches left, thank goodness, but still get the optical - 20 last year and 9 so far this year and sometimes one after the other, lasting about 20 minutes then feel worn out... but also having the wobbly feeling in head so here we go again.... just describing it to dr is difficult... hope you dont get too many or, even better, that you get no more, ever!
