Ferris wheel?

I must have missed your first post on this but a while back I had something odd happen where for a little while i saw what I could only describe as a pinwheel spinning when i'd close my eyes.

still have no solid idea of what it was or was caused by.

Sounds like an ocular migraine. i started having them about ten years ago. My physician alarmed me several annual checkups ago when he said one of his patients who experienced them had a benign brain tumor and he recommended I have an MRI. My wife was falsely diagnosed with MS from an MRI. So I decided to take my chances. I still have them, but the pattern is irregular, and they are no more frequent. I sometimes go months without having one, then I'll have two in two days. I've quit worrying about them. They're an annoyance, nothing more. They last for about twenty minutes. It starts like a small point, then expands into a kaleidoscopic effect that distorts my vision, then slowly migrates to the periphery of my vision and disappears. It's identical in both eyes, which means it's not your eyes but your brain.
