You diagnosed yourself with Ischemic Optic Neuropathy without an ophthalmologist? That's impressive!
Lol no, I meant if you're seeing weird colors you should probably consult a doctor, I should have been more precise. One tends to seek medical attention when one wakes up partially blinded with no warning or other symptoms.

I was diagnosed with idiopathic optic neuritis back in 2005. The weird shapes have all but gone now. It was like a monochromatic Inuit drawing. I also experienced the shapes on any large plain background (often the sky). I was effectively blind in one eye for a few weeks. Luckily the vision has come back to all intents and purposes.
Mine are generally swirly, twisty lines and shapes that almost appear 3 dimensional, usually a yellow-white color, and cloud-like splotches of multiple colors that grow and fade. I can almost see dead Cthulhu, dreaming in R'lyeh. I've regained a bit of vision in that quadrant, not much but I can now detect peripheral motion.
