  https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/retinal-migraine/

  Retinal migraine is a rare type of migraine that can cause visual symptoms in one eye. Most attacks are short-lived. Learn more about the symptoms, causes and treatment options for this disease. […] There are no clear guidelines for the management of patients with retinal migraine. Once the visual disturbance starts, it needs to run its course. Some treatments, such as triptans, can prolong the visual loss. Preventive therapies used for other migraine types can be effective. These can include medications from the following families: calcium channel blockers (reduces blood pressure), anti-seizure or antidepressant medications. Daily low-dose aspirin can also be helpful. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP—a protein that is released around the brain) is found in the retina but we don’t know if medications targeting CGRP are useful for this type of migraine.

• #2 Ocular migraine: When to seek help

  The term „ocular migraine” can be confusing. […] Sometimes people use the term „ocular migraine” to refer to a retinal migraine. This type of migraine is very rare and causes visual changes in one eye. When visual changes are only in one eye, they could signal something serious and may need treatment right away. […] A retinal migraine is a rare condition that usually affects people who also have other symptoms of migraine. Retinal migraine involves repeated bouts of short-lasting partial vision loss, such as blind spots. These bouts may happen before or during the headache. […] A retinal migraine unlike a migraine with aura affects only one eye, not both. But usually vision changes that affect only one eye aren’t related to a retinal migraine. Vision changes in one eye can be caused by more-serious conditions that need treatment.

  Ocular migraine (also known as retinal migraine) is a condition that involves attacks of visual issues that affect one eye and migraine headaches. Treatment involves avoiding triggers with lifestyle changes and medication. […] If ocular migraines happen infrequently, such as once a month, healthcare providers generally dont recommend treatment. […] If you have frequent ocular migraines, the goal of treatment is to reduce the frequency of attacks. Treatment includes: Avoiding possible triggers: Its helpful to know what situations trigger your ocular migraines. Keeping a journal of when and how your migraines happen can help with this. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding dietary triggers, managing stressors like high blood pressure and quitting smoking, may help reduce the number of attacks you have. […] Medication: If lifestyle changes dont help, medication that can help prevent ocular migraines (prophylaxis therapy) is the next step. Calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine and verapamil are the go-to medications. Aspirin and antiepileptic drugs may also help.

  Retinal migraines are episodes of repeated temporary vision loss or blindness in one eye. Retinal migraines can occur with a migraine headache or preceding the headache. Episodes can repeat throughout the day, and last from 5 to 20 minutes. […] Retinal migraines usually indicate a serious underlying health problem, and are considered a medical emergency.

  An isolated visual migraine, without headache, typically does not require any acute treatment, since the visual symptoms resolve on their own fairly quickly. […] It can be helpful to try to rest during the episode. Some patients benefit from other strategies, including eating something, having caffeine, or taking an over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (i.e., Advil or Motrin). […] Patients in whom the visual symptoms are accompanied by a severe headache often benefit from additional therapies. The goal of these medications is to try to cut short (or abort) the headache before it becomes too severe. […] Some patients find naproxen (i.e., Aleve), which is a stronger anti-inflammatory medication, to be helpful. Other patients try a class of medications known as triptans.

  Retinal migraines, the visual symptoms take place in the retina rather than across the outer brain cortex. They occur in only one eye, before or during the headache phase. The disturbance in retinal migraine may also result from abnormal spreading of electrical activity, except it occurs in the retina. The disturbance may also be due to reduced retinal blood flow. […] Retinal migraines, on the other hand, have more potential for long-term vision loss. Either way, getting evaluated and monitored by your eye doctor is highly recommended to rule out other concerns. […] Retinal migraine usually occurs in one eye, and there may be an abnormal spread of electrical activity in the retina. The migraine may also be caused by the sudden constriction (spasm) or blockage behind, or in, an eye. It may occur with, or without, a throbbing headache at the side of the head. The patient may also simultaneously experience sensitivity to light or nausea. The temporary loss or distortion of vision in one eye makes it difficult to conduct close visual work and makes it dangerous to drive. This type of migraine is generally of short duration, an hour or less, and then vision returns to normal. However, some researchers have found that irreversible vision loss is also possible.

• #39 Retinal migraine: caught in the act

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1772006/

  Retinal migraine (otherwise known as ophthalmic migraines, anterior visual pathway migraines, or ocular migraines) causes monocular visual loss for 10-20 minutes which can be associated with diffuse or unilateral headache. People experiencing ocular migraines often have a history of one of the more conventional forms of migraine, and exercise may precipitate the attacks. Vasospasm of the retinal circulation or ophthalmic artery is thought to be the cause of the amaurosis of ocular migraine. […] When considered necessary, effective treatments include propranolol, verapamil, and nifedipine. Prophylactic aspirin or nifedipine may be tried to prevent exercise induced attacks, and inhaled amyl nitrate can be used early in an attack to try to induce resolution. […] Our case demonstrates photographically the arterial vasoconstriction of retinal migraine, which occurred in the absence of a precipitating cause such as exercise and in the absence of a migrainous aura or headache. […] Doppler studies have revealed cessation of retinal arterial flow during an exercise induced retinal migraine episode.

  Retinal migraine, as defined by the International Headache Society, is actually fairly uncommon. Most cases are diagnosed as ophthalmic migraine. […] Ocular migraines tend to go away after a few minutes to an hour and generally treatment is not needed. However, if you have them repeatedly it will be a good idea to have an exam.

An ophthalmologist can verify that eye-related problems are not contributing to the condition. […] Similarly, if you have frequent migraine headaches, you should talk to your health care professional. […] Spasms and constriction of tiny blood vessels that cause ocular migraines can be lessened through targeted supplementation, healing modalities such as massage to reduce tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, craniosacral therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture or shiatsu to balance out meridians that can contribute to, or result in, onset of ocular migraine headaches.
