Various answers: While the term could mean anything that affects the vision, a "visual disturbance" usually implies an unusual visual phenomenon, such as seeing wavy lines or zig zag flashing lights (visual migraine), seeing brief flashes in the vision (retinal traction), seeing darting sparkles in the vision (entopic phenomenon), floaters, starbursts or halos around lights (cataract), and other things like that.
