If you can barely make things out you should go to an opthamologist..M.D. today! If you don't have one call your local hospital for a referral. It is probably nothing serious but you don't want to take chances with your eyes. When you call the office give them your symptoms.

OK
Dont panic
Wavy lines, floaters and flashes sometimes happen suddenly, they are due to the gel inside the eye called VITREOUS getting liquified and seperated from its normal attachment to the inner wall which is retina.
it is very common sometimes brought on by physical exertion like heavy lifting, straining.
if you notice any change in vision you need to be seen by the eye doctor.
Contact eye doctor soon and have it checked.
Very rarely this can pull the retina (risk less than 7%) and can cause holes or tears in the retina which may sometimes need treatment.
Very rarely if it causes tears or holes and if not treated can lead to retinal detachment.
It is called POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT.

you are having the beginnings of a migraine headache. Take a pain releiver and go lay down in a dark quiet place. I have to sleep them off, but can have light sensativity for a couple days after. If you have never had one before, talk to a doctor.

I dont know what they are, but I was watching House the other day, it's a mediacl drama, and a child's eyes were darting around constantly because he had ingested worms(microscopic i think) and they were living in his eyes or something like that. So when he looked out through his eyes he saw lots of squiggly lines and stuff. I am not sure what you have though.

It is called a migranious event and although it can be caused by migraines, it is also a sign of stroke. You should see a neurologist in order to have a MRI to rule out stroke.

it may be "clouds" - "floaters" in the fluid.
stare at a blank wall or a lit up ceiling, do you see things floating?
maybe a cataract, in which case you may want to consider having surgery (replaces the cataract with a new one)
in any case, you should see a doctor.

Are they in a spiral? This is a neurological phenomenon related to the migraine, that often preceeds it. If it gets really bad, or doesn't stop, call your doctor.
