Surprising Facts About Ocular Migraines

1.Seeing Spots

One of the symptoms of an ocular migraine is seeing small blind spots also known as scotoma. It will occur in your central vision and involve flashing, flickering lights known as scintillations. Wavy lines or zig-zags can also surround the blind spot which will normally get bigger, crowding your vision more and more.

The spots you see are known as floaters which are clumps of cells inside the vitreous which is the clear fluid that fills the inside of your eye. These objects may appear to be in front of your eye but they are actually floating within it. This symptom can last just a few minutes, up to 30 minutes.
