I've been having these squiggly lines show
up in my vision sometimes for a few years.
It'll come from like the top left and
then come down and straigten up and down
in the center and eventually get smaller.
Sometimes I have a headache afterwards
and sometimes I dont. Sometimes I won't
have them for months and then sometimes
i'll have them a few dayz in a row. I'm
gettin quite worried about it, does
anybody have any clue what might be
causing this

What you are describing sounds like an
ocular manifestation of migraine headaches
- called an aura. This has the
appearance you are describing and may or
may not be accompanied by a headache.
Ibuprofin may help with this.
If you have not had your eyes examined for
this condition I suggest that you do to
rule out a problem with your retina.

i have had similar symptoms. You should
get a glaucoma workup. It sounds as
though you may already have nerve damage.

I disagree. Glaucoma does not have this
type of presentation. I still feel it is
an aura due to migraine. You have
described the textbook presentation of
it.
However, I would still recommend you have
the back of your eye looked at to rule out
any retinal problems (such as a tear or
hole).
But I do feel strongly that it is related
to your migraines.
Hope this will ease any worry that may
have just been caused :d

I have the exact same thing you do. I have
seen a doctor about it back when it
started about 6 years ago. It scared the
crap out of me at first. When I seen my
family doctor he told me it was migraines
and sent me to a nuerologist to confirm
the diagnosis.
I'm pretty sure you're getting migraines..
They're a pain in the butt. I would go to
a doctor to be sure though, and get some
medication to help you with attacks
