Ophthalmic migraine... i.e. a migraine without the headache. I would not be too concerned, but would pay attention to unusual caffeine intake dehydration or other migraine triggers -- chocolate, peanut butter, alcoholic beverages, etc. MRI would be indicated for persistant symptoms. Hope this helps.
