It started for me on an unusually bright morning. I was sipping coffee, scrolling through my phone, and there they were—squiggly lines, drifting like lazy jellyfish across my vision.

Ever stared at a screen too long and suddenly noticed flickering lights, zigzag patterns, or shimmering shapes that just wouldn’t go away? Yeah, I’ve been there. The first time it happened, I assumed it was stress or lack of sleep. But when it kept happening—long after the migraine pain subsided—I realized it wasn’t just my…
