Flyer..an ophthalmic migraines (occular migraine) is one that you just see lights and either have no headache or just eye pain. What you are describing is a classic migraine with an aura. At least according to my neurologist. I found that if I started w/ the aura and popped 3 motrin right away, I could usually divert the headache. Doesn't make the aura go away (like you said no treatment for that) but you may want to get it a try the next time you get one...see if you can bypass or at least lessen the headpain.
Hi, yes, I guess I should have clarified better. I don't get headaches with the ocular migraine, but I go get regular headaches sometimes. What makes me anxious is the lights in my field of vision. I find that so hard to get used to. Sorry for the mixup, I'm dealing with a bout of vertigo today, so I'm not up to par. I do wish I could take motrin or advil (ibuprofen) but it interferes with my other meds so I'm stuck basically with extra strength Tylenol. Rob.
