A member asked:
After looking at bright light i started seeing zig zags out of one eye,even with eyes closed. lasted about 20 min. very scary. anything serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Migraine: You probably have experienced an occipital migraine. This is a benign issue affecting the circulation to the occipital lobe which might have been triggered by staring at the light. These events go away quickly and cause no change in the eye vision or health.
