It doesn't do what I see justice. They are often beautiful. When they first occur it causes a blind spot. The zigzags are a rainbow of shimmering color. They go away after a hour or so and I feel lousy if I don't have a headache. If I do get the headache with it I have to find a dark room and try to sleep.

That's the shape. But it's constantly oscillating and the colors shifting rapidly.

Vision gets obscured but for me my visual processing/reasoning gets cloudy too. I can still navigate the world but finding a door handle is difficult.

I get sore behind my eyes after and real tired. Happened a few times in the last couple years, anxiety I think.

Youtube mostly has classix migraine aura but this is close enough if you imagine the zigzag image.

Yeah and it has the best name, Scintillating Scotoma. The first time I experienced one it was terrifying.

I occasionally get them and mine feel more black & white than color, the the jagged shape and the arc around the center of your vision is spot on.

And remember the jagged arc is always in your peripheral vision. You can't look directly at it and study the details because it moves when your eyes do.

I don't know what it was like when my sister was young, but I also got occular migraines as a kid, and it'd be like a static spot in my vision where things just disappear behind it. Once that static appeared, I only had 10-20 mins or so before an awful headache would set off, and I ended up needing meds for it. They went away after 13 though.

Well, yes and no. It's kind of an area you can't see, but it's there. Also, it starts as a small dot and them starts expanding/moving. It's also flashing, kind of like static noise on an old TV. Luckily those things usually last like 15 minutes or so. Still, not a fun experience.
