Blurry vision on the right corner of my eye?

What you are describing is an ophthalmic migraine. Typically these present themselves as zigzags or "kaleidoscopes" in the outer corners of the eye. It can slowly move towards the center of the eye or stay on the outer edge. These usually last anyway from a few minutes to 20 or so. They can actually blur or even block out the vision in the area affected. People don't always get a headache with these auras. You may however, notice some nausea and weakness following an episode, and in worst case, you may get a migraine headache. You can keep track of how often they are occurring and report to your primary care doctor if they continue. Generally they are harmless but can be treated with medications if they continue.
