Topographical analysis of the optic nerve in migraine patients.

Purpose: Vascular dysfunction appears related to the development of migraines and has been associated with pressure-independent glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible topographical differences in the optic nerve between migraine sufferers and normal age-matched control subjects. The identification of optic disc topographical differences between migraine and non-migraine sufferers may help clinicians determine if the presence of migraine influences the development and progression of glaucoma.
