Sparkles: Sounds like you had decreased blood flow to the occipital lobe of the brain, the part of the brain responsible for vision. There could be many causes; dehydration, medications, quick movement from bending to standing, vascular malformation. If this continues to persist, see your primary care physician. If it is a one time thing, most likely not a problem.
