To Katie Lacewell,
Sounds like what your husband has is a variant of migraine with  aura.  He is
describing his aura. A migraine with visual symptoms  but no headache is
called an acephalgic migraine or painless migraine.  He  should be examined by 
his
neurologist or neuro-ophthalmologist and asked about  timing, location, is it
always on the same side, does it last between 5  minutes and an hour, does he
have a history of headaches when he was younger,  family history, etc.  If he
hasn't had an MRI he may deserve one now  depending on his answers.  A daily
aspirin might decrease their  frequency.
