Has anyone had migraines which affect vision?

Botox works wonders for most people.
Botox for me on the other hand took a year to notice any relief and it lasted for about a year which included injections every 3 months.
My migraine is 24/7 and caused from damage from radiation treatments to my neck.
My NP decided to inject some of the Botox into my neck and that brought relief for a couple months.
You should give the Botox a try but it can take up to a year to notice results so be patient.
Vision; yes my vision is sometimes blurry during a 10 pain day. My pain ranges from 7-10 on a 24 hour basis.
Wishing you the best

Thank you for response!

I tried botox quite a few years ago the Drs have to be careful where they inject mine hit some nerve and it affected the whole back of my head and neck triggering tension headaches. I couldn’t believe it! Now I’m getting migraines again with visual disturbances. My headaches are / sinus/allergy/stress related. They’re aweful again. I had s cats scan last week of my sinuses. It showed inflammation. So now I’m just waiting to see what the doctor suggests. I also have a neurologist on the list too . So sick of drs!

Yes!! I get Aura migraines which affects my eyesight from anywhere from 10 minutes to 40 minutes. I've had the botox injections. They worked one month out of 3. I get severe headaches as well. My heart is with you! They can be debilitating!

I agree about doctoring. Comorbidity is very challenging!

Mine are called migraine with aura as I see wavy lines or gold rings around my whole eyeballs. Two times all of my vision went bright white and once gray. I feel the prodrome coming on when I get a sharp intense smell or the lines or rings. Depending on how fast it comes on and how strong the pain, means I’ll be in a dark room in bed for days.
When I was younger I took the cheaper Excedrin equivalent, which is caffeine from a coke/coffee/or chocolate, an aspirin and an acetaminophen. Prescription meds made me too dizzy so I was put on gabapentin and vimpat for seizures. They mostly work for migraines but sometimes I have to add a tylenol or a coke and it usually works as I’m already on aspirin for my cholesterol.
None of my doctors over 60 years have known what causes them but I have a lot of other diagnoses so I figure it’s related to my seizures even though they don’t think so. I also have small vessel disease and a lot of migraine scarring in my brain but all my neuros say it’s no big deal. They don’t have migraines lol

I had 5 rounds of Botox. It didn’t help my headaches and I had no idea it may help my vision.
If I had listened to my wife I’d have stopped after my 3rd round. 1st few day was good, after I got worse.
The 4th and 5th I just hoped
I never knew what my vision was going to do when I got hit. Blurry to the point of seeing thru Vaseline, big white blotches. When I’m getting hit to the point I call the fear, fast and black. Typically it’s blurry to the point I can make shapes out my left eye. I get big bags under my eyes. Worse left

Definitely worth a try, all the very best ❤️

I’ve been receiving Botox since 2001 with good results. Hah gone through a period of seven months with a migraine 24/7. It caused blurred vision, light and sound and vibrations increased severity of the symptoms. After seeing 3 different neurologists who couldn’t figure out what was causing it, a friend told me to try one more neurologist - who made the diagnosis of cervical dystonia, caused by soft tissue damage after a car accident. He started treatment with Botox. I know that everyone responds differently to it, but I was very lucky and had great improvement in the migraines. I continue to go every 3 months for treatment. Not every cycle is great, some have breakthrough headaches, but I have my life back.

Sunglatoon, I just got home from check up at eye doctors ( can’t believe I even went! So glad I did). I have similar symptoms as you (mine all left eye) Easiest, trying to see thru Vaseline. Next, larger white splotches. Worst large black coming fast. Look like I got punched. Was worried Doctor knows and said everything eye-wise is fine. I can tell from the aura now how bad to expect. I’ve spent plenty of time in my dark room and I feel for you. No fun.
Never had seizures (once many years ago, my own fault) or small vessel disease. I’ve also never heard of migraine scarring in the brain. This has all hit me so bad so fast I dont know 1/2 of what people here are going thru. It all started like a freight train at 63 for me and I’m 67. All after covid. I couldn’t imagine how difficult growing up with this would be. I don’t have a clue. Concentration is a trigger so I gotta go… thank you for posting. I kept this all pretty much to myself till a couple few weeks ago.
