Yes, it can be.
Silent migraines (ocular migraines, acephalgic migraines) are migraines in which the pain phase of the migraine is not experienced. This means the prodrome, aura phase, and post drome phases can be, the aura being the most noticeable.
Whether or not you are prescribed migraine abortive medication to deal with your silent migraines really depends on how long your aura lasts. If you have an aura which only lasts 15 minutes, then by the time the medication would start working - your aura might be over anyway. If, however, you have an aura which lasts 30 minutes or longer, it might benefit you to have medication that will end it.
Because zolmitriptan is a medication targetted toward aborting migraine, not just simply treating migraine pain, it can be successful at treating migraine aura.

What is a silent migraine?
A "silent headache" or "silent migraine" (also called ocular migraine or acephalgic migraine), is a type of migraine where the only phase of the migraine not experienced is the head pain phase. So, this person can experience mood changes, nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances, balance issues, dizziness, and numbness - but will not have the severe pain which is associated with these types of headaches. While it is wonderful to not experience debilitating pain, this does not mean this type of migraine is not debilitating. Many of the symptoms still experienced can leave the sufferer unable to function during many of their usual daily activities. These types of migraines are still treated by the same medications used to treat other types of migraines.
