Yes you need to see an ophthalmologist early this coming week. Small vascular occlusions (blockage of retinal arteries or veins) can cause those symptoms.

Thank you, I will call the eye clinic on Monday AM and ask to get in soon.
It doesn't have to be that serious but it needs ruled out.

I have optical migranes and don't have any pain or headache with them.
Thanks, I did see an ophthalmologist today. She didn't see an occlusion but did see a blood vessel which she called a "variance" but assured me was normal. Didn't offer a suggestion about why the line was there, but told me that everything looked healthy and not to worry.
