A member asked:
Is it possible for eye strain to cause auras similar to a migraine? or could i be experiencing silent migraines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ocular migraine: You may or may not be experiencing symptoms of an ocular migraine. Do you have nausea? Photophobia? Any change in visual acuity deserves an immediate full history and physical by an MD. Sometimes women develop catamenial migraines and they can be associated with other triggers as well. Stay calm and see MD you will be just fine.
