Can migraine cause starburst/ beams around lights?

I had a migraine aura over two months ago and ever since I see starbursts and ghost images at times. I also feel like my night vision is not as good or something. I got my eyes tested after this and all was fine. I saw a neurologist but did not ask him about these symptoms Many thanks Xxx

  1. HI celticgirl99.

    Thank you for your question. It's good to hear you had your vision checked and everything is fine on that front.

    Visual aura, which the second phase of a migraine attack, can have similar symptoms. The thing is when we have new and/or different symptoms it's important to discuss them with the doctor. I would encourage you to call him and discuss these symptoms with him to rule out anything more serious.

    Let me know how you make out,
    Nancy
