Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having color lines in the eye.

Color lines are usually caused by conditions like early cataract or corneal edema or as a part of prodromal symptoms of primary headaches like migraine.

Colored lines results from hydration of the structures of the eye as in early cataract or in corneal edema. These two can be ruled out by eye examination by a ophthalmologist.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination of the eye.

If you are having symptoms of headache followed by seeing colored lines then primary headaches like migraine needs to be ruled out.

Do consult your doctor for examination and write back to me with examination reports.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
