People with ocular migraines can have a variety of visual symptoms. Typically you will see a small, enlarging blind spot (scotoma) in your central vision with bright, flickering lights (scintillations) or a shimmering zig-zag line inside the blind spot. The blind spot usually enlarges and may move across your field of vision. This entire migraine phenomenon may end in only a few minutes, but usually lasts as long as about 20-30 minutes.
However, the turning in of the eye does not exactly match the description of the ocular migraines. The condition might be related to neural disorder, just like migraine is, but not necessarily. Definitive diagnose can not be given without further tests by ophthalmologist and/or neurologist.
