Question: blurry vision...in and out of focus...optometrist said occular migraine...info?

Answer:

Dear Gale:
This question comes up frequently; however, having an optometrist diagnose an "ocular migraine" may be a little short-sighted. I'd advise seeing a headache specialist if these symptoms continue to bother you. Visual symptoms may represent any number of neurological disorders.
Good Luck,
John Claude Krusz
