What are the symptoms of an ophthalmic migraine?
It all starts with visual disturbances more without any headache : sparkling spots in the field of vision, partial loss of vision or even temporary blindness. These visual disturbances are most often called “aura”. As the Inserm explains, visual disturbances are the most common (90% of cases). The aura can last from 5 minutes to 1 hour. Then the headache is coming.
ophthalmia is more common in some people than others. This is for example the case:
-
women ;
-
people under the age of 40;
-
people with a history of migraine (personal or family);
-
people with a disease such as lupus, atherosclerosis, epilepsy or even temporal arteritis.

-
lack of sleep;
-
high blood pressure;

hormonal changes;
-
hypoglycemia;
-
