About once or twice a year I get a problem with blurred vision in one eye. It starts off as a little white area and slowly grows until my peripheral vision disappears. It usually lasts for about 2 hours and improves when I sit in the dark. Is this a migraine of some sort without the pain?

Could be like an optical migraine. When I get them, they only last about 15-20 minutes, and it's like a prism effect that spreads across my field of vision from one side to the other. I get them an average of once a year or so. My friend's little boy sees "monsters", but her doctor says it's just an optical migraine. No pain with either of us, and it goes away by itself. If you haven't had your eyes checked in the last couple of years (by an ophthalmologist), I'd suggest that just to be on the safe side.

sounds like a migraine, but they usually occur in both eyes at the same time. I would go see your eye doctor for a dilated exam to make sure you are not having anything else happen in the back part of your eye. You can get migraines with out headaches they are called ocular migraines

Get it checked out ask your optician for a full eye examination so he can exam not only your vision but also the back of your eye so he can check for macular degeneration. A low fat diet with plenty of green vegetables for you m'lad.

It may well be. It would be wise however to get a check up. Initially an optician would be fine.
