No: You were describing them classically, you may want to follow up and see your eye doctor, so they can do a complete dilated funduscopic exam as well. So you can have this documented in your chart.

As I always say: About migraines, they are benign, but a diagnosis of exclusion after more serious causes are ruled out.

Eye pain : Ocular or eye pain may be a sign of eye stress or visual strain, rarely glaucoma. Some times these types of pain are sometimes extremely debilitating leading cluster headaches. See your eye specialist a pressure check and vision exam and if that exam is ok then see your family physician for further eval.
