Basically they said I have aura without the migraine.

Have you been to any vision specialist? I went to several standard eye doctors and of course they said my eyes looked fine. I just went to a specialist a couple weeks ago he discovered I also have a balance disorder so finding the right eye specialist is important.
crazy stuff! I've also being dealing with depersonalization, some days i feel present but when it gets dark out and everything switches to artificial lights i feel the DP every time without fail. From what people say, it seems to be a psychological reaction to the altered input and it's reassuring that yours
eventually cleared up.

It took a few months but my GP has gotten me linked up with an optometrist who apparently works with PCS patients, supposedly she does a specific hour-long evaluation so i'd have to imagine that will be pretty thorough. Mine's in a few weeks so I'll report back- reading feels generally imprecise and labored, especially in weird lighting conditions so hopefully she has some kind of therapy to help restore function in that regard.
