I had something similar happen to me. I was seeing something like colorful staircase shaped (zig zag) types of circular objects. I thought I was crazy, but my doctor told me that it was something called an opthamologic migrain, due to severe eye strain. At the time I had been doing work on a computer, something I was not used to, and I did over do it. It took several days resting and staying indoors and doing different things with my eyes. I did not even watch tv. I spent time looking at near and distant objects, and I spent alot of time resting. Hope you find relief. I know how upsetting it is.
