[FRIAM] Visual Migraines

[Barry MacKichan]

The first time I had one of these, I had just heard some horror stories 
about detached retinas. I made an emergency trip to our ophthalmologist, 
who reassured me and then said it was really a circulatory problem, and 
not a retinal problem. So I left we one worry replaced by another.

I don’t perceive any geometric patterns, though. Mine are more like 
amoebae who have rolled in glitter.
