   Sounds like the "scintillating scotoma" associated with migraine,
   although it doesn’t necessarily lead to a migraine headache. Do the
   rings glitter, do they grow larger before disappearing? Is there a
   central blindspot? I get it if I drink coffee or any other caffeine
   containing substance (coke, chocolate, decaf coffee); it is also a sign
   of caffeine toxicity or, in my case, hypersensitivity.

   I am sixty five and had by-pass surgery a year ago.  Since then, my
   near-sight prescription has increased from 7 to 10 and then to 13 within
   a period of 10 months. My far-sighted prescription has slightly
   improved.

   My doctor has ruled out Glaucoma, Cataract.

   Please help.
