Is there such a thing as an ocular migraine?

I thought the ocular “aura” was always a part of a true migraine? It can be more or less intense, but isn’t it always a part of it?

Also, a lot of people call a bad cluster thumping headache as a migraine, but I thought migraines have to have the three classic elements. Aura, headache and nausea.

I know I usually had all three. As I got older, I would sometimes get a big of an aura and then it would go away without the headache and nausea.

I almost always have the visual symptoms before the pain hits. It’s an outline, curved like a circle on the left and jagged on the right, that’s blue and orange at the same time.
