And it's mostly gone now, faded to a kind of blurry line. Not nearly as festive.

coffee: Flea, that sounds like me when I get an ocular migraine. Festive is about the right word, with bonus fight-or-flight reaction. Good to check it out anyway.

Both eyes would mean it's in the brain, as opposed to something mechanical happening in an eye. Sounds very unsettling!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I had crap like that happening in one eye, they did an MRI on me in case it was brain-related.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah--being unilateral isn't going to make something optical as opposed to neural. If anyone does get a disturbance that's just one side, don't hesitate to get it checked out too.

I should probably mention that in addition to the flickering thing I saw in the one eye, I also had a blind spot that was growing larger by the day.

Stuff like that, among other things, can also signal a detached retina. I had some flashing lights develop in one eye. At first I chalked it up to weird external electrical effects due to wacky wiring in the trailer I was living in. Then I noticed it at a time when all the lights were off. So I made sure to mention it to my primary care doc when I went in for something else. Judging by his reaction it is one of those things that are most wholeheartedly foolish to wait to have checked out. The doc, head of a larg and busy practice, himself got on the phone to his buddy the opthamalogist to get me in immediately. In my case it turns out to have been not a detached retina, and most likely caused by torsion in my eye. At my next eye-glasses getting, my astigmatism had changed orientation but not power. If I'd had round lenses, they could have simply rotated the lens in its frame. But the opthamalogist gave me the instruction that if the flashing light I was seeing changed in frequency or size, I was to "run, don't walk, to the phone to call" him to get it checked out right away.
Which is why I was so dismayed a few years later to find that my mother has now lost her vision in one eye due to a detached retina that she did not have attended to in a timely fashion. When fresh, getting it reattached is much more likely to be successful. When old, it does not work so well. Mom didn't say anything to anybody for weeks because she "didn't want to bother anyone".
