I am no expert on eyes, but it does sound like a form of keratitis or perhaps photokeratitis.

How long does the distortion last? Could this be the aura of a migraine?
Question Author
nope - no headaches
Question Author
it comes & goes in the evenings.
If it is 'classic' migraine-it may not have an accompanying headache-or just a minor one.The 'aura', or visual disturbance-lasts about 15 minutes

Watch this video...is it a bit like this?

cheese is a very common cause of migraines and also chocolate.

For me its hard mature cheeses that nail me - but I cant stop - just cut down on eating 6oz of a mature cheddar at once. Soft cheeses seem ok.....just started last year and I am mid 50s......the slide down the hill perhaps
york310 are you an eye-man or a migraine-man. Migraine help needed. ;-)
I was getting the zigzags and blindspots for several years before someone said-"oh-it's migraine"...is THAT what it is?...I'd always thought a head banging headache was part of it....not always....leaves me somewhat disorientated,though.
hi, i sometimes get jagged lines accross my vision in 1 eye which gradually fade over about 20 mins (and are still there when i shut my eyes) my optician described them as occular migraines
yep---that's them.....
the zigzags are called a 'scintillating scotoma'........
