Just something I learned recently after finally going to an optometrist, if you see a kaleidoscope effect in your vision but you haven’t rubbed your eyes it’s probably a vision migraine. They can be before during or after a real migraine or you can be an oddball like me and not have any other effects and just wonder why the hell your vision goes to shit randomly…
