A member asked:

Had oct scan and dilated retina exam 9 days ago for spots in rt eye. all normal. seeing spots like after images that fade almost like a migraine aura does. mostly happens going dark to light. visible even with eye closed. what is happening. scared?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This phenomenon has been described in migraine sufferers and is almost never due to direct problems within the eye itself. This might be characterized as a variant of "palinopsia", which can be seen with prior head injury, medication reactions, and various brain lesions. At this point, find an experienced academic neurologist to go to the next step.
