ramakentesh Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I get floaters in a flareup, I have visual snow 24/7 since 2000 and I get some other weird visual artifacts that a doctor once guessed were persistant migraine aura.

issie Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 When I have a migraine and usually mine are silent - without the pain, but not always. I see tons of silver stars that float across my vision and also have a bit of double vision with it. The first time was really scarry. I was out of town and thought I was having a retina detachment. Got to an eye doc and he figured out my bp was high and that I was having a silent miagraine. The black floaters are normal - unless there is a huge wave of them and then it could be an eye issue - like a retina detachment. Some of us are just more sensitive to them. Usually us with blue eyes.Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schorobi Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I get the "sparks of light" too, but only in the shower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach73 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 the quick answer is all the blooming time! lolI get it everyday, small patches of white with zig zag black stripes - smaller than my usual migraine auras, bursts of tiny blue lights, bursts or flashes of light like a whole block of light, white pin prick lights. Basically loads of it. I tend to go through phases of having it all the time and then it lessens. Its annoying and distracting. I also get black grey floaters which have increased in the last 5 years.Rach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemons2lemonade Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ugh yes all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lackadaisy_baby Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I see what look like little camera flashes sometimes, along with a tiny black spot in the middle of my vision. I tend to get more floaters in general during and right after I shower, although that may be because I'm looking for them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yes, especially in bright light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peregrine Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I get floaters all of the time, but sometimes - maybe once every 3-4 weeks - I get pinpoint sparks of light that dance around. It seems to correlate with feeling cruddier than usual, but not sure how. (is this a warning sign of low BP, anyone?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
