A member asked:

I suffer with migraine aura, i can get them everyday or sometimes i can go without them for months. i see them sometimes in the right or left eye. should i worry about them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Problematic: Do not waste time with worry, but rather be proactive, and prevent, as visual auras can compromise your vision, especially while driving, and be dangerous. Neurologists can provide a number of OTC and prescription items to break up pattern.
