Unexplained visual distortion in both eyes

[PopcornSweeper]

I'm 23 years old, female. I have been having visual distortion in both eyes for 5 months. The distortion spreads across my central vision. Flat surface and straight lines appear curved. I have had a similar episode two months further back but it resolved in a few days.

First, I went to an optometrist. He said I had central serous retinopathy. Then I went to a ophthalmologist who performed a pupil dilated exam and said I did not have CSR. I went to another ophthalmologist and a retinal specialist. My OCT results came back normal and they could not explain why my vision is distorted. They told me not to worry but this condition is very distressing.

Could you give me some advice on what to do next? I'm also worried that it has something to do with my brain.

Thanks!

Thank you Dr. O. for answering my question. I have had ocular migraine before. About once a year. The aura has always been flashing lights which goes away in about half an hour. The visual distortion I have now is persistent. Could it be something not shown in my OCT results? Thanks!

You may be having ocular migraine.  Google it to see it your symptoms fit.

Addition info: I have myopia and PVD. My visual distortion has been stable. It has neither improved or worsened.
