Ok, Lady wins! Yours sounds much worse than mine. My eyes were not dialted, and while visual migraines are not painful, they are distressing. Its after the visual stuff stops that the real painful migraine comes along.

Ever have someone stand too close to take a flash photo? all those dots and spots after? That is what a visual migraine feels like. Not painful, but annoying! its when the flashers and wigglers stop that the real fun begins. I tried to tell them I didnt have enough visual accuity to be able to pick out their flashers from my own. They said to just do my best.

I can't believe they did that! They should have known better and I am so sorry you had to go through that.

I went to the ophthalmologist last week to get my eyes checked. Good news was, my vision is getting better as I get older. But, I do need a wee bit of a bifocal. I have my visual field test coming up this week. Part of my peripheral vision is gone in my left eye. Then I have to go back for the dilation part of the testing.

Dej - Thanks for starting this thread and I hope things work out for you. Let us know.
