optical migraines with no headache

If you have this kind of migraine what do you take for it to prevent them

  1. Hi
    Great question! Treating migraine with aura, often called "optical" or "ocular" with or without headache is typically the same as treating migraine with head pain. We have information in this article that discusses what this type of migraine is and how to treat it; https://migraine.com/migraine-types/migraine-typical-aura
    Hoping you have a low pain day, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team Member

    1. I have taken Inderal LA for the last 40 years for these types of optical migraines, It helps but I do still get them off and on. MY grandson was told he has visual snow, sounds similar to my condition.
