Today I had, at work, what I believe to be an "optic nerve" migraine. I had no pain whatsoever but all of a sudden I experienced a strange sensation in my left eye. One side of it became distorted with blurry, colored lines. They were reds, blues, and yellows and sort of zig-zaggy in the left half of my eye. It became increasingly worse, so much so that I couldn't really see out of that eye. I took some aspirin and it only lasted about 30 minutes. There was no pain involved but it sure was strange. I researched it a bit on the internet and it seems to be called "migraine with aura." I have had it happen to me before and feel fairly certain that it is quite common and nothing too serious.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
