Circles

"Ocular migraines cause [in my case] transparent watery waves and circles in field of vision."

(Corvus, Newsgroups: alt.support.headaches.migraine, Subject: Opthalmic Migraines, November 16, 2001)

"I have been a migraine sufferer for many years and have tried to describe the feeling to friends, family and physicians. I 'see' a dot that resembles a 'ping' from a submarine followed by concentric circles that move across my head from the point of origin."

(Carol, Email to Klaus Podoll, July 8, 2005)

Globes

"Headaches and headache-proneness (not actual but sort of threatening HAs) are always accompanied by peripheral flashing light, like a small globe with lights radiating down from its poles, on each side, when I roll my eyes with lids shut."

(Julianne, Newsgroups: alt.support.headaches.migraine, Subject: Re: Visual Disturbances, December 15, 1999)
