Can migraines cause blurry vision?

FAQ

Yes, migraines can cause blurry vision. One type of migraine called “migraine with aura” is associated with visual disturbances such as temporary loss of vision, blind spots, flashing lights, and blurry vision. These visual symptoms can occur before the headache phase of the migraine or during the headache phase.

The visual disturbances associated with migraines with aura are caused by changes in the activity of the brain cells that are responsible for vision. These changes can affect the way that visual information is processed and can result in blurry vision.

It is important to note that not all migraines are associated with visual disturbances, and there are many other possible causes of blurry vision. If you experience blurry vision or other visual symptoms, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
