blurry middle of eye that cleared in 1 hour

[LaurelJensen]

A very weird thing happened today - my left eye got blurry right in the center and then, over the next hour, the blurry spot became an ever widening ring of blur (the center cleared up and the blurry area was a small ring at first). The ring slowly got wider and wider and eventually disappeared and I'm seeing fine now. I've never had any problems before and this frightens me.

Have you ever heard of this and what could it be?

Thanks for the website! That's exactly what happened and it's good to have an answer. I couldn't figure out what was going on physiologically and then it went away entirely. No pain and nothing else was out of order. My mother suffered from migraines (painful ones) for many years so it makes sense I would be predisposed. Hopefully I can figure out what triggers it and prevent this from happening in the future.

Thanks for your responses!

I have migraines, and my experiences with them make me agree with Dr. O.

Take a look at this website and see if anything looks similar to what you saw or felt:

Probably a migraine.  Please get an evaluation.
