When A Migraine Is Not Just A Headache🤕

Many people think of migraine as a headache syndrome associated with these 4 classic symptoms:
-nausea
-vomiting
-light sensitivity
-sound sensitivity

However, what patients (and even some doctors) may not realize is that migraine can have many other manifestations, including visual issues.👁

These eye symptoms can result in patients showing up at their ophthalmologist’s office, and then being referred to a neuro-ophthalmologist.

Over the past 20+ years working as a neuro-ophthalmologist, I have seen just about every unusual visual manifestation of migraine, ranging from the common flashing lights ⚡️(called visual aura or scintillating scotoma) to more serious issues such as pupil asymmetry, double vision, and even permanent visual loss.

Do you have any visual symptoms of migraine? I’d love to hear what they are so I can help shed some light!

More than just a party trick🤪

Whether you call it strabismus, squint, or lazy eye, understanding ocular misalignment is essential for an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Do you know these 4 main patterns?

👁 ESOtropia = inward deviation of one or both eyes

👁 EXOtropia = outward deviation of one or both eyes

👁 HYPERtropia = upward deviation of one eye

👁 HYPOtropia = downward deviation of one eye

Any questions? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise.

I try to get in at least 10,000 to 15,000 steps per day…

even if I’m busy,
even I’m not feeling 100%,
even when it’s cold outside

Walking in NYC after a long day of seeing patients, or sitting in front of a computer on zoom calls, or doing my paperwork makes a huge difference.

- it elevates my mood
- gets my blood pumping and
- I get a chance to get off my screen to reset my mind.

by the way, if you ever in New York City, ping me in for a walk together.

What’s your favorite form of physical activity that you do on a regular basis?

What do you think of the Rockefeller Center Tree?

Should they cut down a beautiful tree every year to showcase just for a few months, steal wildlife of their habitat, then cut it up into firewood or…
should they have an artificial tree or some other symbol of the holiday spirit?

Blurry vision?😵‍💫

Sometimes it’s not just a glasses prescription issue that causes blurry vision. For example, the underlying cause could be-

- dry eye
- cataract
- diabetes
- retinal or optic nerve stroke
- inflammation (optic neuritis or uveitis)
- and many more causes of blurred vision.

Bottom line-

Get a complete eye exam for the right eye diagnosis and treatment. 👀
