1
This review examines associations between migraine and retinal disorders, focusing on retinal migraine, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and photophobia.
-
2
Retinal migraine is rare and poorly characterized, with insufficient data to support mechanistic conclusions regarding its pathophysiology.
-
3
Epidemiological studies suggest individuals with migraine may have a higher risk of developing neovascular AMD, indicating possible shared pathogenic pathways.
-
4
Photophobia, retinal artery occlusion, and changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness are reported more frequently in migraine patients than in controls.
-
5
Further studies are needed to clarify the significance of retinal alterations in migraine and whether they contribute to its pathophysiology.
