Migraines and Your Retina
Do you suffer from the blinding headaches of migraine? According to the latest research, those headaches may really be blinding. ArcaMax Health and Fitness brings us a UPI story that reads:
U.S. middle-aged men and women with a history of migraine and headaches are more likely to have retinopathy than those without a history of headaches.

The definition of retinopathy, from Wikipedia, is:
Retinopathy is a general term that refers to some form of non-inflammatory damage to the retinalinks of the eye. Most commonly it is a problem with the blood supply that is the cause for this condition.

The Headache and Migraine News Blog says:
Actually, the study found that those with a history of migraine or headaches were between 1.3 and 1.5 times more likely to have retinopathy. If you removed patients who had diabetes or hypertension, the likelihood increased among those with migraine or headaches with visual disturbances.
