Visual disturbances

Question

Visual disturbances

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I have been seeing flashes of light in my peripheral vision that last maybe 15 minutes. They are in a zig zag half circle shape once it moves to where I can see it better. I've read that these are ocular migraines? I did start a new birth control and the day before I got my period, I had the aura for the first time. I don't get a headache after the aura though. I have had this twice now. A week apart from each other.

Hello Headache usually follows aura.
