What Causes White Spots In Vision Followed By Headache?
On Sep 27, i did my regular full eye exam and the optometrist said everything was good. I Have no eye diseases so far and i wear glasses for reading only. Starting Nov 5 till December 17- I have 3 separate incidents where i saw a star like shape , starting small and growing in size to flash, along with some white spots blocking my vision partially.It lasted about 20 minutes, am not 100% sure if it was one eye or both- after which it just went away on its own- left me with some head ache for one day after that. I am bit concerned- could you please help?
