I just wanted to give you some suggestons for helping to keep your iron up. I've had problems with anemia most of my life so have had to be very careful to make sure I get enough iron in my diet. Broccoli and bok choy are particularly good to eat becasue they have a high iron content and they also have quite a bit of vitamin C (vitamin C can help your body absorb iron). Spinach also has quite a bit of iron. Additionally red meat (like steak) has a lot of iron, which your body can absorb easily. So if you try to include one or more of these in your meals throughout the day it can help keep your iron levels up.
I also think that the 'lights' you are seeing are caused by a migrane. I also have migranes and get an aura (or lights) with most of mine. I've had them since I was about 10 and it can be very confusing and upsetting at first, especially if you don't know what is going on and why. I find that laying down in a dark room seems to help.
I hope that soon you will be able to relax and enjoy your pregnancy
