migraines with orthoK?
i’ve been on ortho K since I was about 10 and am now 19 (F). Have never really had any major issues and my eyes have responded really well to the lenses. Also note I have quite a tight pair of lenses (according to my ophthalmologist) for best results.
The other day I woke up with the worst migraine of my life- I had gone to bed with a slight headache and noticed my eyes hurt somewhat when I put the contacts in but attributed it to the headache. When I woke with the migraine, the pain seemed to be coming from the contacts(/my eyes?), which I quickly took out. The pain persisted in the right eye and right hemisphere of head, but ceased in the left eye immediately. I then proceeded to have standard migrainey symptoms for the next 48-72ish hours (fun!). I’ve just now put my contacts back in after skipping them for 2 nights, and noticed my headache started back up immediately. I’m going to wait at least a few more nights before I try again (frankly because I’m scared and don’t want to be bedridden for another 2 days), but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced OrthoK related migraines? they may be totally unrelated but I otherwise have no idea what it could be. I’m also really bad at doing my monthly cleanses so… could be that potench. Sorry for the long post!
(also prescription info: roughly -2.25 in one eye and -2.50 in the other… very ballpark but one eye is .25 worse than the other)
