    You are probably experiencing the migraine aura which is a normal symptom.  Calm yourself down by meditating or deep breathing.  Then take some Excedrin and lie down in a dark place with a cold compress on your forehead/eyes, sleep if possible.  Make sure you are drinking enough water and staying away from stress (the two main causes of migraines).  If you have this often, get a prescription from your doctor.

    Hi Kimberly,

    I have suffered from opti migraines since 2004.  I get a wavy distortion in my eye that lasts from 20-40 minutes. Almost like a kalidascope show in my vision!    It just comes out of the blue and whatever I may be doing at the time I have to stop sit or lay down, close my eyes and let it run it’s course.  I do not get the migraine headache ever.  It is scary but you will not lose your sight.  It is a chronic condition however.  I would suggest seeing your pcp or opthomologist for a diagnosis.  Please don’t be scared it is an extremely common condition!  Linda
