![]() Symptoms of Visual Disturbances from Migraine Covering one eye, and then the other, helps to figure out whether the symptoms come from the brain (seen by both eyes, often with the eyes closed), or the eye (seen in one eye only).* The visual symptoms of migraine fall under three general categories: positive symptoms, negative symptoms and altered/distorted vision. Sometimes this is hard to determine, as the symptoms may occur only on ONE SIDE of the visual field. Migraine-related visual symptoms are usually seen in BOTH eyes. ![]() Visual Disturbances Can Occur In Both Eyes Some people only experience migraine-related visual symptoms, often without headache, starting at age 50 or later. The most common pattern is for the headaches to become less severe or even go away, with episodes of visual aura persisting. The character of the headache may change, and the visual symptoms may change. ![]() To complicate the issue, migraine may change throughout life. The visual symptoms usually start before the headache but may occur during the headache. They may or may not be associated with a headache, and some individuals only experience the visual symptoms without headaches. The visual disturbances of migraine generally last less than an hour, most commonly 10-30 minutes. Visual Disturbance of Migraine is Short-Lived It is often difficult to determine whether or not visual symptoms are related to migraine, or if they are a symptom of a more worrisome problem. About 25-30% of migraine sufferers have visual aura symptoms.
