Hi
I would suggest that you have this assessed by your ophthalmologist just to rule out a direct involvement of your eye. A visual symptom secondary to a migraine and visual symptoms secondary to an eye problem have to be differentiated here. Most migraine auras are usually followed with a headache in an hour. However, not all of these are followed by headaches and may still be classified as a migraine.
This may not be something that needs immediate assessment . However, to allay your fears and concerns, an ophthalmologist may be able to help.
If I have visual aura they are usually wavy lines in the lower half of my vision, but this have not happened for over a year. I do have trouble w/ fluroesent lighting and flashing lights. I now wear glasses that are very lightly tinted which has been helpful. Since wearing the glasses I rarely get headaches from either (glasses were my idea, not doctor recommended). I have not seen my eye doctor for over a year.
Hi
Do visual auras usually accompany your migraine headaches?
If yes, how do these auras manifest?
A consult with an ophthalmologist may help jus to rule out direct involvement of the eyes. This may not be something that you should be worried about. The condition reverts in a few minutes and is usually associated with a headache. This may increase the likelihood of this condition being a migraine aura. Migraines however are given only as a diagnosis if underlying conditions like eye problems have been ruled out.
