To Katie Lacewell, Sounds like what your husband has is a variant of migraine with aura. He is describing his aura. A migraine with visual symptoms but no headache is called an acephalgic migraine or painless migraine. He should be examined by his neurologist or neuro-ophthalmologist and asked about timing, location, is it always on the same side, does it last between 5 minutes and an hour, does he have a history of headaches when he was younger, family history, etc. If he hasn't had an MRI he may deserve one now depending on his answers. A daily aspirin might decrease their frequency.
