​
While these conditions can be related, they require different approaches to treatment. Our specialized migraine and computer vision syndrome management services in Penshurst offer evidence-based solutions tailored to your specific needs and symptoms.
Understanding Migraines vs Computer Vision Syndrome
Migraines
Migraines are a neurological condition characterized by moderate to severe head pain, often accompanied by:
-
Visual disturbances (aura)
-
Sensitivity to light and sound
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Throbbing or pulsating pain
These symptoms can last from hours to several days and may be triggered by visual stress, hormonal changes, or environmental factors.
Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)
Computer Vision Syndrome, also known as Digital Eye Strain, affects people who spend extended periods looking at digital screens. Symptoms include:
-
Eye fatigue and strain
-
Dry, irritated eyes
-
Blurred or double vision
-
Headaches (which may trigger migraines)
-
Neck and shoulder tension
CVS symptoms typically develop during or after screen use and can contribute to migraine episodes in susceptible individuals.
The Connection Between Computer Vision Syndrome and Migraines
While computer vision syndrome and migraines are distinct conditions, they often overlap. Digital eye strain can act as a trigger for migraine episodes, particularly in individuals who are already prone to migraines. Our comprehensive approach in Penshurst addresses both conditions simultaneously when appropriate.
Comprehensive Assessment and Diagnosis
