Specializes in Ophthalmology

Yes: It's possible to have a migraine without a headache. This is referred to as an ophthalmic migraine or atypical migraine. You should consult an ophthalmologist and have a field of vision study. Following this a trip to a neurologist or your family doctor with a copy of the test should be done.
