A member asked:
I believe i'm experiencing optic migraines. vision is affected, particularly central vision. what is it, what are the symptoms, what is the treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You need an exam: There are numerous conditions that can affect central vision. Optic migraine is one of them but is a rarer problem. Common things are refractive error changes, the onset outside diabetic retinopathy with diabetic macular edema, and cataract changes. You should have an exam by an ophthalmologist to determine the cause.
