How would you describe your visual aura if you have one?

Mine is a bit like having my head inside of a snow ball (you know, the ones you shake and it starts snowing) but with transparent(ish) snowflakes. I am just curious to know how others experience visual aura 😊

Hi Ugreta, Mine start with bright light flashes on the edge of my vision, then transparent tiny squiggles.

Mine is a bit like when you see heat rising from a hot road in summer but more zig zaggy if that makes sense. Also I can’t focus on the particular thing I’m looking at, ie someone’s face would be hazy

I start seeing stars and flashes on the edge of my eyes. It’s proceeds the pain. Then my eye starts going grey and I completely loose vision in one of my eyes (Not Both). My doctor asked if it happens when I am driving and I told her yes. She said you need to pull over. But I drive mostly on a bridge with no shoulder. So I just drive it out until my vision returns
