Dr mittal, or any other doctor who can help me,
I have been suffering from visual auras somewhat similar to what happens during a ocular migraine. I see it with both eyes at the same time, it starts with a small blindspot with expands into a shimmering multi hued zigzag lines in a crescent shape. It flickers and expands in size in my visual field and within 5-10 minutes and then disappears slowly. But I never experience the headache.
I have seen the doctor many times and they have diagnosed me with PVD and prescribed antiox tablets. They have also stated my retina to be fine. But these auras are not going away.
My question is whether these auras are at all related to the PVD or should I see a neuro doctor. I do have floaters but no other symptoms and they do not bother me at all now but these auras really scare me.

Please take tab vasograine whenever it starts and if you get relief then take tab flunarin 10mg daily at bed time and vasograine as and when needed .

Hello
Your description of so called visual area is suggestive of migraine
It is not related to PVD or floaters.
If there is no headache and your retina is normal then there is nothing to worry
Also get your eye pressure checked once
Use lubricating eyedrop also
U need to have a retina periphery examined again by any retina specialist
If floaters increase it can be early sign of retinal disease also since u have a Pvd u need to see a specialist .
Unfortunately there are no medicines which can be prescribed
Just make a note of your symptoms and if they increase visit nearby hospitals
