The link between eyes and migraines

Migraines transcend the realm of mere headaches. Indeed, they are complex neurological events; and beyond the awful pain of a migraine lies a web of symptoms, many of which are related to the eyes.

For instance, a common cause of migraine is light sensitivity (photophobia). So too is visual disturbance (aura), blurred vision and dizziness.

Photophobia, or sensitivity to light, causes migraine pain and often worsens symptoms. In fact, research suggests that up to 60% of migraine attacks are caused by light or glare.
