    Mine looks sort of like the classic tv signal thing with the colour bars? When the signal is messed up? But flashing and moving, that’s the only way I could try and explain it, But then there would be like Black shapes around it not moving…

    @KelsinatorX Same, I thought I was going blind.

    and just recently this is preceded by 30-40 minutes of extreme dejavu. unlike typical dejavu where it will only last 3-4 seconds. i get thought after thought after thought and experience after experience that i have either dreamt or know what is about to happen, and each and every thought is built off the previous one. kind of a dejavu carousel. my eye doc gave me lorazepam and 800 mg ibuprofen, which when taken get rid of both for me in about an hour. so weird but im getting used to it!!

    this is probably the closest thing i can find to what i experience when this happens to me… although its more white flashes than the rainbow colors you saw here. and the edges of my Aura are more jaged and most if the time only happen in one eye. sometimes it will happen in both. typically it will go away if i just lay down and close my eyes and relax… recently this “ocular migraine” (what my eye doctor calls it) last for about 20 minutes, and followed by more of a headache than a migraine.

    Mine is thinner, and in two segments. Also, they go back and forth, in an agitating motion (like a washing machine). My vision is definitely blurred, to the point, that I have to angle my head certain ways, to read. I always get these in my right eye, so I have to focus on words, with my left eye. I’ve also noticed, that if I close my eyes, I can still see the shiny rainbow arcs. Mine are more brilliant, too (like a prism from a crystal). I think mine is caused by a pinched nerve???

    This is the closest thing I can find to what I get. The first time it happened to me scared me to death.
