What Is an Ocular Migraine?
4. Concerns
Ocular migraines are usually harmless, except for the visual disturbances. However, the aura of shapes and lights that appear in your sight may interfere with your activities such as walking or reading. Computer work may be temporarily impossible, and even eye contact during conversation may be difficult.
Because you may have to stop what you are doing and rest your eyes, this type of visual impairment can feel disabling. Its temporary nature, however, means that it is more frustrating than it is dangerous. Remaining as relaxed as possible lessens the likelihood that you will experience a stress headache that can accompany an ocular migraine.
