    Hi Shelby,

    Pop in to your local opticians and get an eye test, regardless of anyone elses experience your eyesight is precious and is worth getting checked up on.

    All the best

    It could possibly be an aura migraine... I get them, I get no pain but my vision gets bad I I get jagged lights in my vision.  I lay down and shut my eyes (you can sometimes see the jagged lights with your eyes shut) but it will go away if I do that within 30 minutes.
