Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @sambo1. Sounds like you've been dealing with migraines for many years.
Here is an excerpt from an article published on the American Academy of Ophthalmology site that has information pertinent to your question:
- Pain and ocular surface discomfort.
Pain and pressure behind the eyes can be classic signs of migraine. But dryness, scratchiness, burning, irritation, and tearing can also be signals of migraine—and they can be associated with ocular surface diseases, including dry eye disease, blepharitis, and allergic conjunctivitis.

Has your neurologist commented on these symptoms? Have you by chance visited an ophthalmologist or a neuroophthalmologist about your eyes?
@lisalucier no I haven't yet. Having MRI in a week then hopefully see a neurologist.
