Migraine and Other Headaches

Headaches are a common symptom, and migraine is the second most common type of headache. Prof. Bruce Evans has undertaken reviews of the literature to evaluate the role of optometrists in helping patients with migraine and other relevant headaches.

Have you ever wondered if there’s evidence of association between migraine and refractive errors and heterophorias? Or if different optometric interventions (refractive, prismatic, and tinted lenses) have a relief on headaches?

If so, you should watch this lecture for the evidence and to understand your role as an optometrist for patients who suffer from headaches and migraine. The lecture dives into the classification of headaches, symptoms and signs for differential diagnosis, visual triggers, which clinical optometric tests you should perform, when to refer, and visual treatments.

The session is given by Bruce Evans, a renowned optometrist and visiting professor.

This session took place live on 23 September 2025 at Clinical Conference in Norway.
