Occular Migraine? Aura without headache?

Hi Lisa,
I've had more frequent auras recently. Because of the change of having 5 or 6 in about 10 days I am seeing a Neurologist tomorrow. Hard to compare with mine. I'm 78 and learned from one of on the site that my auras might be related to glaucoma. Also, My Optometrist at my recent visit suggested I may need surgery next year around the time of my next visit.
Best wishes and luck, Paul

I would be very interested in hearing what your neurologist said. My eye doctor said I should see one for my ocular migraines (no pain) because it's not an "eye problem" but a "vision problem" (i.e., it's about what my brain is interpreting from the eye's input). I do not have glaucoma but had cataracts in both eyes (made worse by the drug Promacta), and recently had the cataracts removed - but the auras remain.
