Ocular Migraines: When to Worry

In my latest podcast episode, 'Ocular Migraines: When to Worry', I’m exploring how migraines can affect your vision and overall eye health. Here’s what you’ll learn:
-What migraines are and why they’re so much more than just a headache, including their impact on the visual system.
-Migraine aura explained: the neurological event behind zigzag patterns, blind spots, and flashes of light—and why they can happen even without a headache.
-The key differences between ocular migraines and retinal migraines, and how to know when to worry.
-Why migraines can feel like “an ice pick in your eye,” and the role of the trigeminal nerve in eye pain.
-Surprising links between dry eye and migraines—and how treating dry eye might bring relief.
