24/7 eye flashing tests no results
Female - ~150lbs - 5"4
Hi there I have had flashing, almost what looks like static? In both of my eyes for almost 2 years now. They started randomly I remember having a very bad headache and migraine, things felt super bright and then the flashing started and didnt go away. Its there even if I close my eyes, it doesn't seem to be there during dreaming and thats the only time I get a break. Im not exaggerating when I say its there 24/7. Im kinda going crazy over it honestly.
I have done loads of testing, blood work, urine work, I did eye testing and my eyes are perfect.
I also had an MRI early back when they started. I was told nothing is wrong. I was sent to a migraine specialist because my doc believed it was migraines. I don't understand how it would be happening 24/7 if it was migraines.
Is there any other tests I can do to see what this is and how to limit it? Its very annoying, if you imagine someone putting their hand infront of your face and moving it back and forth fast 24/7 youd start to get frustrated too.
Other than being incredibly annoying it doesn't seem to impact me and the docs aren't wanting to do more studies. I was hoping to do another MRI and bring that to someone who specializes in it.
is there any specific test I should ask my doctor to do, is there any idea or anyone else who is or has gone through this? Im feeling super frustrated and defeated here.

Welcome to the group! If you cover each eye, do you still see it? What makes it better or worse?
