My experience is very similar to yours. And until now, I still have this kind of episode...although not as often as it used to be. At random times, my vision gets blurry. My right eye feels like it's being blocked by a cotton ball and it lasts for a few minutes.

I also have been having an eye get stuck looking at something while the other eye moves on. That started late last spring. I have been checked for myasthenia gravits (sp) but dr. is not really worried. It lasts a minute or so. I have found if I put my hands up as "blinders" the eye returns to work with its mate. Dr. laughs at that, but it seems to help.

I have this (pre and post surgery - dr called it an optical painless migraine) for me it has two triggers... Eye strain or low blood pressure. I find drinking pint of water helps and changing my focus to relax the eyes. Its rarely painful but can make me dizzy. If is, then I take pain killers. As my low BP post surgery is getting less frequent then the migraines are too. Pre and post I have noticed a considerable correlation with hydration. Worst one was years ago when my mind tried to wed the outer thirds of what I could see and miss out the middle bit. This corrected itself again with drinking water, think I went onto have a climbing lesson after!! Ginger - that's quite a trick :( Hope it doesn't happen often.

I have had that for years in my right eye without the headaches. They usually only last about a minute or so. The first time I had one it freaked me out, I thought I was going blind. They got a lot worse after surgery and now at 1 year they are sparse.

I had those before surgery occasionally. I've had multiple one after each surgery I've ever had. Mine fortunately do not hurt badly but my vision gets distorted for about a half hour. I usually take a pain killer like Tylenol and some caffeine like tea or coffee and that helps. Sometimes light can cause it but usually it just comes and goes.
