I wonder if we are experiencing the same symptoms and our optometrists just call it different things. Is your "trippy looking" like a skewed fat lightening bolt in the middle of your vision of one or both eyes?Mine is a little circle in the center of both of my eyes that kinda looks like a tiny ball of lightening (maybe strobe like would be a better description) that grows in a C shaped line and it expands to the outer parts of my vision. It happens in both eyes and doesn't go away when I close my eyes. Sound a bit familiar?
I did a bit of lookin up and here's what I found.

Yep that's it. That's weird though, I never get the pain either. My optometrist always told me it was a "mini-stroke". I actually had another one last night. 3 in one day is very rare. Anyhoo, my first instinct is to close my eyes to make it go away, and DAMMIT it's still there!! Thanks for the info Dino!
Hey doc, do you know the address of that place?
Oh, you know, I do know the address. It's at the corner of go fuck yourself and buy a map!
