Hi there.  Ive read a tad about people noticing over time their eyesight has been effected by CH ???  is this pretty much standard or just a pot luck sort of a thing?  

Ive noticed over the last 18 months how bad my vision is getting to the stage i now need new glasses ,especially worse in my prodominant side.    Also after big hits my vision blows out for a while. I get hit both sides but mostly/ usually  on my left.  What are the chances fo this continuing to get worse?  



thank you for your time and wishes for painfree rest          xR

Hmm! Come to think of it, my vision has improved since CH started. Wish I could say the same for the rest of me. ;D

The only effect I have found on my vision is when I try to push my eyeball through the back of my skull during a hit.  It usually takes a while to clear up after one of those attacks.  You might pay attention to what you are doing during a hit.

Much technical language which says: pay attention and have an exam IF continuing symptoms.

Ophthalmologic aspects of headache.

Tomsak RL.

Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio.

Pain around the eye can be caused by local ophthalmic disorders or by disease of other structures sharing trigeminal nerve sensory innervation. In general, most ocular causes for pain also cause the eye to be red, thus alerting the examiner to the focality of the problem. However, conditions like eyestrain, intermittent angleclosure glaucoma or neovascular glaucoma, and low-grade intraocular inflammation can be painful and not be associated with obvious redness. Ocular signs and symptoms also occur with numerous other causes of headache. Double vision in association with periocular pain can result from orbital lesions, isolated cranial neuropathies, and cavernous sinus lesions. Pupillary abnormalities like Horner's syndrome may result from a variety of painful conditions, including cluster headache, parasellar neoplasms or aneurysms, internal carotid dissection or occlusion, and Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. Pain with a dilated and unreactive pupil may reflect a benign condition like Adie's syndrome or ophthalmoplegic migraine, or it may herald the presence of a life-threatening posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Headache and transient visual loss can be manifestations of classic migraine, or be symptoms of ocular hypoperfusion from ipsilateral internal carotid occlusion or increased intracranial pressure from pseudotumor cerebri. In a young patient, head pain with a fixed visual deficit may result from optic neuritis, in an older adult, temporal arteritis may be the culprit. Ophthalmologic aspects of headache thus encompass problems that range from simple and benign to complex and formidable.

Hi My vision blows out too but only after a severe hit and if I have a migraine at the same time.

I hope you have a pain free day.
