Do you experience ocular migraines?

My daughter got them the first 6 weeks of college from the stress of keeping up w her work. In the midst of them she was unable to see and in excruciating pain, but once she transformed her study patterns from up all night studying like in high school, to doing all her course work, assignments, etc well in advance they went away never to return.
 

I have ocular migraines every couple of months or so, with flashing lights and unable to focus, I just sit quietly for 20/30 minutes until it passes then I’m left feeling drained

Mine can be set off by bright lights including sunlight

I was advised by my pharmacist to take a teaspoonful of sugar, the ‘flashing’ lights clear a little quicker so I always carry a few small sachets of sugar in my bag

It is frightening at first but, apparently, quite common
