The Vision-Migraine Connection

At Apollo Vision Haus, we recognize the significant impact migraines can have on your quality of life. Many people are surprised to learn that vision problems can be a contributing factor to migraine headaches. Our experienced optometrists understand the complex relationship between vision and migraines, and we offer specialized therapies to help you find relief.

How Vision Can Trigger Migraines:

• Uncorrected Refractive Errors: Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can cause eye strain, potentially triggering migraines.

• Eye Strain (Asthenopia): Prolonged near work, like reading or using digital devices, can lead to eye fatigue and headaches.

• Binocular Vision Problems: Misalignment or difficulty coordinating eye movements can cause visual discomfort and trigger migraines.

• Light Sensitivity (Photophobia): Many migraine sufferers are sensitive to bright or flickering lights, which can worsen symptoms.

• Visual Aura: Some individuals experience visual disturbances, like flashing lights or zigzag lines, before a migraine attack.

• Binocular Vision Assessment: Assessment of how well your eyes work together, identifying any misalignments or coordination problems.

• Specialized Testing: Evaluation of visual skills and sensitivities that may be contributing to your migraines.

• Altius Contact Lenses: These innovative lenses can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines by optimizing visual clarity, and contrast sensitivity, and reducing eye strain.
