What are migraines?
Migraines are characterized by recurrent attacks of throbbing headache lasting four to seventy-two hours, typically starting on one side of the head, which become worse with exertion and maybe associated with nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite and increased sensitivity to light, sound or smell. Migraines may vary widely in intensity, duration and frequency of recurrence. Migraine sufferers may additionally experience a premonition that migraine events are about to occur. This takes the form of an aura that precedes the headache by no more than sixty minutes consisting of visual changes, or less commonly, reversible mood disturbances, tactile sensory deficits or weakness. What different types of migraines are there?
Common migraines are headaches accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, without visual or other neurologic changes. The pain may feel as though it radiates from a specific point, sometimes behind the eye, for which reason it can be confused with eye pain.
Classic migraines share all of the characteristics of common migraine with the additional defining feature of neurologic changes preceding or accompanying the headache, including visual changes and sensory or motor disturbances such as tingling in the arm or muscle weakness.

Filtering Out Short Wave Light Eliminates the Onset of Migraines In the July '99 issue of Migraine Action News, a monthly UK newsletter for migraine sufferers, we asked for those willing to take part in a study looking into whether specialist spectacle filters can help prevent or reduce the symptoms of migraine, to contact us. It was by chance that a Migraineur who subscribes to Migraine Action News had received information on behalf of her daughter who suffers from RP. She contacted me to inquire whether we could do anything to help her with her own migraines. Experimenting, we found that indeed, by filtering out short wave light we completely eliminated the onset of migraines and so enabled her to return to her work in Court and as she terms it 'returned her life to normality'. At the same time, a piece of scientific research carried out at Kings College Hospital, London was being concluded which supported our own experiences by identifying the light at the extreme ends of the spectrum as being a common trigger amongst migraine sufferers. They also found that the light sensitivity before, during and after the migraine is attributable to those same frequencies. Like Retinal Disorders, many sufferers are aware of a link with light sensitivity, whether as a contributing cause or symptom associated with the problem. Many sufferers can be quite specific about their particular sensitivity in various situations, for example, under certain lighting, at a computer, car headlights, watching TV etc.

Do You Think You Are Seeing Things? Visual Flashes, Floaters, and Migraine Auras Most of us occasionally note small gray or black blurred strings , cobwebs , or dust specks drifting across our vision .These are vitreous floaters ; although annoying , occasional floaters are generally of little significance. The vitreous jelly is the transparent , sticky , jelly-like substance that takes up much of the volume of the eyeball . It is more than 99 % water , but is kept in a gel state because of the presence of hyaluronic acid and collagen fibrils .The vitreous acts as a structural cushion which maintains the shape of the eyeball , but which is also optically clear , allowing light to pass through the inside of the eye to the retina . As we age, the gel partially liquefies , and the vitreous collagen fibrils form condensed aggregates which cast shadows on the retina . These floaters move around in the liquid vitreous with natural eyeball movement. While collagen fibrils give rise to whip-like floaters , small speck-like floaters represent individual red blood cells or epithelial cell debris in the vitreous . With further liquefaction and shrinkage of the vitreous , increasing numbers of floaters may suddenly develop . The collapse of the vitreous is a natural aging process called a '

OCULAR SYMPTOMS AND DIAGNOSIS
Introduction: Floaters, Flashing lights, Rainbows, Abnormal Color Vision, Distorted Vision
Read this important information before proceeding further:
These sections are not intended to replace the professional examination and diagnosis by a physician, and they are presented here purely for informational purposes. All possible diagnoses and treatment options are not covered, and the information discussed should not be taken as a recommendation to self-diagnose and self-treat a condition. A misdiagnosed or improperly treated eye condition can result in a permanent loss of vision, or a permanent loss of function of the eye or visual system. In the case of any eye problem, seek medical attention promptly. This can include emergency room treatment, as well as treatment by a medical physician or eyecare provider.
This page discusses unusual visual phenomenon such as floaters and different types of flashing lights. Other visual abnormalities such as seeing rainbows around lights, abnormal color vision, and distorted vision are discussed as well. The first grouping of abnormalities give symptoms of floaters or flashing lights . Separate sections on Rainbows Abnormal Color Vision Distorted Vision , and Tunnel Vision follow.

Review of "Unilateral Recurrent Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion and Development of Neovascularization Associated with B. hensellae and B. quintana"
Steven M. Cohen, MD
The Vitreous Society Online Journal [serial online] 1998 Jan - 1999 Aug [ cited 1999 Oct 1 ];1 (2) [2 screens]. Available from: URL: http//www.vitreoussociety.org Dr. Cohen was asked to review the article after it was posted. The following review was received 8/19/99. Idiopathic recurrent branch retinal arterial occlusion is a definite possibility in this patient. Patients with idiopathic recurrent branch retinal arterial occlusion do not have vitritis. They can also develop cotton wool spots which sometimes can mimic retinal infiltrates. Also, 25% of patients with this syndrome develop retinal neovascularization. Migraine symptoms are present in about 1/3 of these patients and it would be interesting to know if the patient reported by Dr. Goldstein had migraine. Since the reports on idiopathic recurrent branch retinal arterial occlusion predate current serologic testing for cat scratch disease, it is possible that there is some overlap in these two syndromes. With time, as more patients with branch retinal arterial occlusions are tested for cat scratch disease, we will better be able to judge whether or not cat scratch disease can cause sufficient compromise of retinal circulation to induce retinal neovascularization.

Floaters and Flashing Lights
Vitreous Detachment
These symptoms usually resolve over a period of days to weeks, although some people will continue to see the floaters for a longer period of time. The important thing is to determine that the retina is healthy as the vitreous detaches. This requires a careful dilated examination of the retina to look for tears, or other areas which may be at risk for tearing. A retinal tear can then lead to retinal detachment, if not treated. Thus, people experiencing these symptoms should be examined by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. (Note, only about 1 in 10,000 cases of vitreous detachment lead to retinal detachment, but it still is one of the most common causes of retinal detachment.)

RETINAL INFARCT ASSOCIATED WITH MIGRAINE
SÁNCHEZ PEDRAZA R, PÁRRAGA QUILES M.ªJ, GALLARDO GALERA JM.ª, RODRÍGUEZ BAYO S RESUMEN Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un varón de 17 años afecto de migraña y en tratamiento profiláctico con Flunaricina, que 36 horas después de la suspensión del mismo comenzó con visión borrosa y mancha negra en ojo derecho. La funduscopia derecha mostró un exudado algodonoso en la mácula, secundario a microinfarto en la capa de fibras nerviosas. La campimetría reveló un escotoma superponible a la lesión retiniana. Discusión: Se trata de un caso extremadamente infrecuente de pérdida visual permanente en el contexto de una migraña. Realizamos una revisión de los mecanismos etiopatogénicos actualmente admitidos y los relacionamos con el caso presentado. Palabras clave: Migraña, retinopatía, infarto retiniano. SUMMARY Case report: We report the case of a 17-year-old man with migraine and prophylactic treatment with flunarizine who suffered loss of vision with black spot in right eye 36 hours after stopping treatment. The right fundus showed a macular cotton wool spot due to microinfarct in the nerve fiber layer. There was a scotoma in the visual field in the same localization.
