I get migraines from spending an afternoon in the sun.  Wearing a hat and sunglasses seem to help, so I think it is time to invest in a high quality pair of sunglasses.  What sorts of things should I be looking for that will work for me the best?  I do a lot of fishing/water/snow sports, so I am getting a reflection from the surface of the water as well as sun from the sky.

polarized is good because it cuts down on the glare from light reflecting off things...

To go and have too much fun is RIGHT up my alley! I like a little girlfriend action myself.. then Im having LOTS of fun! As far as your headache goes, take two excedrin for migraines and you'll feel better in 20 mins.

It depends what you're comfortable with. If the games start at 4, theres a good chance you're going to end up with the sun in your eyes. If a tinted visor will help keep you from losing the ball in the sun, then I would say go for it. Once concern would be that if the sun sets and it gets dark during the game, you need to make sure it is the kind of visor you can easily remove. Playing with a tinted visor after dark could cause some problems.

Hi, for me is dairy, and citrics.  Also, too much exposure to the sun.  I try to avoid any of these in excess, and if I still get a migrane, I drift to my room, cool it a little, close the drapes and take a "Maxalt".  I get better about 4 or 5 hours later, if I get some sleep.

Sometimes tis can be an indication of a migraine coming on.  I have only had this happen to me once but it was a spectrum of colors off to the side of my vision.  I called the doctor right away and that is what they told me.  I ended up getting my worst migraine ever!  When you have symptoms like this though,it is always best to see your physician.  If they feel follow up is necessary they will probably have you see a neurologist and possibly run an MRI or CAT scan to ensure there isn't an underlying cause for this happening to you.

use a screen glare reducing sheet, wearing eye glasses. cold water on eyes every little while.I have an LCD flat screen monitor and it helps a little bit, but try the other things, pick up some cheap non prescription reading glasses and wear these all the time at the computer.

how many servings of fruits and vegetables do you eat? i suffer from chronic migraines, and i know when i eat 10+ servings of fruits and veggies my headaches are minimal, and are not as severe when i get them. also, drink TONS of water. in the winter you may not be drinking enough water because you do not feel as "thirsty" as you would in the summer. also, avoid drinking coffee/tea/pop that has caffeine in it, because they are diuretics, which will dehydrate you, and make any headache worse. hope that helps!

It's me again. Gordy in South Portland, Maine. That gooey stuff are your eyes, trying to heal themselves. You may possibly have a little irritation in your eyes, still. If you have a family doctor, he can take a peek and prescribe an eye rinse for you to keep your eyes clean while they are healing. Because this is such a pain in the neck to you, I would think a quick visit to your doctor, or even a walk-in clinic, would end a lot of useless worry about it. The best part about doctors and clinics is that almost all of the  time they have seen all this before and they will know exactly what to do for you. A fantastic eye rinse you can pick up at the pharmacy, over the counter, is Collyrium. It comes in a 4 ounce bottle with an eye cup on top to use. All it is is boric acid, sodium borate and water, preserved with benzalkonium chloride (0.01%). Don't let that fancy language scare you. It's great stuff, and after you slosh it around in your eyes for about thirty seconds, you can feel the itching go away and your eyes getting a decent chance to heal themselves. Your best bet, and the one that I'd opt for because it's the shortest route to home plate, is just see your doctor or clinic. They have stuff even better than the stuff I just recommended to you and it will also shorten the time you have to be bugged it this. I sometimes get allergic reactions to stuff after being out on my bicycle for long rides in the Maine countryside, and this eye wash Collyrium knocks it out pretty quick. Hope I haven't upset you with all this information. I will be holding a very strong thought which goes like this: let him get his eyes in good shape again before this Saturday. Good luck to you from  - G. in South Portland, Maine., U.S.A.

Screen savers help but i WOULD RECOMMEND antireflective coated lenses. Also get up and get away from the monster for breaks.  Better light  works the best.

Gaming can be very harsh on the eyes! The light from the screen causes a lot of damage to the eyes and it may end up being serious. To avoid more trouble try to limit your gaming time. I know that is hard to do, especially now that it is summer, but to save you vision, I'd calm it down a bit! Go play outside some more! I get Migraine headaches which are a lot like over exposure to iridescent light....you start seeing spots and you get really dizzy and light headed. Then a stomach ache follows along with a POUNDING headache. I lie down for awhile and drink a lot of juice and the spots usually fade away. I also take Tylenol or another form of medicine. I am not sure if this will help you or not, but it is worth a try. Good luck to you and your brother!

This is not an "optic migaine" this is a Migraine pure and simple with variable symptoms.  An acephalic migraine is one in which a person gets the visual aura that you describe without headache symptoms.\nLet me guess:\nThe flashy light episodes last 10-40min, the headaches are often one side of the head.  You have migraines in your family and you may have had motion sickness as a child.\n\nMigraine\nIf your GP doesn't recognize your classic symptoms its time to find another one.

humans are naturally light-loving creatures. I forget the scientific name, but it's true. you might notice the same attitude if it is cloudy or raining. I forget what the disorder is called, but my mom has the same thing. some of us are more sensetive to the seasons than others in the fact that we can react more dramatically when the sun goes down or is not present. I would recommend turning all the lights on and curling up w/ a good book so you can forget that it is dark outside. put a poster or picture in your room that is of a sunny beach filled with palm trees. Brighten up your surroundings. Today it is cloudy and I was feeling kinda low, so I went and tanned for a few minutes and I feel ten times better. Its all about changing your surroundings to compensate for your grumpies. good luck!

Most headaches around the eyes are one of two types - either migraine, or sinus headache; you may be able to determine which one it is likely to be by the following:  \n\nA migraine headache is virtually entirely on one side of the head; it is often accompanied by nausea, and sensitivity to light and/or sound.  Some people experience an "aura" shortly before the migraine begins; it can be visual, auditory, or even olfactory (sense of smell).  A migraine is often helped by being in a cool, dark room, and often disappears after a period of sleep.  The causes of migraines are not fully understood, but there are prescription medications that can help; ibuprofen helps some people, but usually it doesn't do much.  Some people also respond to medications or liquids containing caffeine.\n\nSinus headaches behave differently. Generally, the pain is on both sides of the face, and often worst near the cheekbones or around the eyes.  Light or sound generally have little if any effect on the headache.  Cool surroundings often make the sufferer feel worse; warm compresses or a heating pad often help.  Sinus headaches generally respond well to ibuprofen or Tylenol, particularly if combined with sudafed/pseudoephedrine (like Tylenol Sinus formula or a similar medication). \n\nIf either one of these sounds familiar, then check with your doctor - particularly if it is a migraine, as the only really effective migraine medications are prescription-only preparations.  Even if none of the above sounds familiar, it sounds to me like it's time to see your doctor.  Good luck!

Hi. I can relate. I am a brain tumor survivor and I know how bad migraines can really be. Whats worked for me is the eucolyptus and spearmint all natural headache relief available at Bath and Body Works. Also, if available have someone massage your temples while you close your eyes and relax. Prescriptions don't work for some of us. Hope this helps. \n\nGood luck and best wishes,\n\nChris

I get really bad migraines too. Normally if I have a migraine I drink tea, place an ice pack on your forehead( lay in the dark where its peacefull), or I learned this when I was younger. First keep your eyes opes and take your pointer and middle finger and massage your temples at the same time for about ten sec.. THen close your eyes and do the same thing. It works a little for more, and if that doesnt work take some advil.
