Default What are those wavy lines?

Last Sunday, I was relaxing, watching friends play Bags, when I noticed that in the right part of my vision, there were wavy, translucent lines in a crescent shape. I thought maybe it was in one eye so I closed each eye, but it was in the same place in both eyes. It took about 20 min. for it to disappear.
What do you think it was? It scared me...I also had pain later in bed in my left temple to my left eye...

That IS weird! Glad it went away, though. Were you tired at the time?

Ummm, what's Bags?

WOW Deb! I was having the same problem! Started about a year ago, about 1 episode a month...now has progressed to about 1 every day or so..mine takes about 20-45 minutes to stop. Just went to opthamologist yesterday. He told me I was having optic (optical) migraines! I'd never heard of this..anyway, have to go see my PCP. Doc didnt say if anything wil help, so I guess I'll see. I called the episodes "spinning pinwheels" only way I could describe it. I've had to pull of the road when I'm driving.

Optic migraines...hmmm. I'll have to write this down for my neuro appt. next month.
Bags is sometimes called cornhole. There's a board with a hole in it, and you have to stand several yards away and throw a beanbag into it. I wasn't playing, just watching. I was tired and my legs hurt from spasms...I just hate it when I have weird things going on with the eyes...
