They happen when I least expect it. I've been told by my doc, and eye doc, to not worry - just sit back and enjoy the light show.

For me it presents as a flashing area in my center of vision - then slowly moves outward and out of visual range in about 20 min. For me, zig zag colored lines flashing gold and blue.
