      I believe this is another related, simililar, yet technically different phenomenon, with different causal mechanisms, but yes, lets keep adding to the list, lol.

      Also, brb, you'll never believe this, apparently my pizza delivery guy's name is 'Hiro Protagonist', he's almost here, and I gotta ask him what is up with that name.

                Eyeworms. Villagers get them from touching raw meat then rubbing their eyes. It's only a matter of time before the worms burrow into your brain. Then you shit yourself and die in a most embarassing way.

                  My ocular migraines always come with a pretty strong headache. Last week I had my first one without the headache. Very difficult to try to concentrate when you cannot see.

                  Also when I get both types of migraines, I can’t remember names or do any sort of math.

                  I typically get a song or something stuck in my head and cannot let it go while I have the headache, it sucks.

                    First time I had one of these I was so stressed out. I thought I was about to have a stroke.

                        Slightly different but similar and related:

                            Always wondered what this was called. I get this often in winter, less during summer. It really puzzled me the first few times it happened, I just figured I was getting diabetes. I have a black tail that follows them so it's even more noticeable then in the picture.

                              I most commonly see these these when I have a migraine, really bad sneezes, or I flick my eyes or move my head quickly. I've heard it's fine unless you see a bug chunk at the same time as that could be a sign the retina has broken or come loose?

                                I occasionally get them and mine feel more black & white than color, the the jagged shape and the arc around the center of your vision is spot on.

                                And remember the jagged arc is always in your peripheral vision. You can't look directly at it and study the details because it moves when your eyes do.

                                  Visual snow is different, it's constant and looks more like tv static or film grain, fun stuff, not.

                                    I had some since childhood and as a child trying to explain these to people lead nowhere, and I just thought I had something nobody else had. Then, years later, the internet came, and some random post like this came, and I went holy shit! It was amazing to finally know what it was and that they really aren't a big deal.

                                        Glad I'm not the only one! I had one a bit ago that was weird. If my right eye could see my right hand but my left eye couldn't, it felt disconnected from me. Like it was someone else's hand. Once my vision came back I still couldn't read for about 2 hours without sounding out each word. Migraines can be wildly scary sometimes.
