Some one who suffers from ophthalmic migraine normally experiences visual symptoms of seeing bright flashes. These flashes may be associated with flashing light sensations and sometimes can interfere with vision. Sometimes, there can be a headache after the visual symptoms fade. This is known as Ophthalmic Migraine.
The cause of this kind of migraine is due to a temporary spasm in the blood vessels behind the eye called vasospasm. Usually, this resolves without treatment and many people never have another episode. Some people may continue to have them. An examination of the eye is important to rule out any other causes for these symptoms.
