I was sitting at the computer when I noticed that the vision in my right eye started getting blurry. It was blurry in the center. It freaked me out so I went and lied down on the bed. Then the vision in that eye got very flashy/shimmery. Like heat coming of the road. Also a yellow and blue zig zag pattern appeared. I’d say it lasted about ten minutes.

This is called an aura and is connected with migraine. However, some people get the aura experience and no headache following (as you did) and some people get the headache with no aura preceding it (as I have done) and some people get both. If you do get migraine headaches they are usually associated with nausea and photophobia. Sometimes my skin would feel painful as well which was nasty. There are fortunately excellent prescription medications which work really well. Please see your doctor if you get another aura "attack." You were wise to rest and not continue on the computer which could have made the whole thing worse.
