Question 5

Accepted Answer

Brain irritation: The visual illusions of migraine come from irritation of the occipital lobes of the brain.  They do not occur from eye problems.  They are usually benign and serve as a warning that the headache is coming.  The best treatment would be Aspirin as soon as the visual illusion occurs.  This will improve blood flow to the brain and decrease the irritation and perhaps avoid the trobbing pain.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Ocular and neurological migraines can mimic all manner of problems, including those normally caused by strokes.

As you describe persistent visual changes, it would be a very good idea to have both an ophthalmologist and a neurologist see you, to make sure nothing else is going on that might need treatment.

Please make arrangements to see those doctors soon.

Question 10

how do u differentiate between tia and ocular migraine ?

Accepted Answer

Very different: Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are caused by a transient clot, usually not causing permanent damage to the brain. About 1/3 of those who experience TIAs go on to have a stroke in the year following their TIA. Ocular migraine is a rare condition. It causes vision loss less than an hour and is thought to be caused by spasms in blood vessels in the retina and cellular communication changes.
