Call me crazy, but I'd see a doc before these symtoms set in.

Sounds like migraine.

You said "left eye mostly" - if you meant there was some in the right eye
too, it pretty much has to be migraine.

Instead of headache, you got "queasy." That's migraine too.

Sometimes there's just visual symptoms and _no_ discomfort or headache. It's
still migraine.

If you develop pain, or numbness, weakness, or difficulty in speech, see a
doctor right away.

Maybe you had a hard, tiring day at work which gave you mental
strain. Mental strain can cause all kind of wierd illusions.

I'm not a doctor, but I believe that what you describe could be
caused by any number of things, from retinal problems to migraine
headache.

For once I agree with Otis - go get examined by an opthalmologist
and find out if it is anything serious. It's your eyesight, so
don't take any chances with it.

Incipient detached retina -- is always a concern. I would suggest
having
it checked out by an ophthalmologist.

Enjoy,

The most bizzare thing happened to me the other day while in work i
had the a distortion of my my peripheral vision in my left eye mostly.
to try and describe it I would have to say it was like around the
outside of my vision towards the left, it was all shaking in a
distorted sort of a way. This lasted for about 10 minutes and became
quite distressing.
But within seconds of phoning my wife it stopped suddenly. I was left
feeling a little queazy(sick). Anybody shed any light on this?
