I wear glasses...

If I have an aura it is before both eyes (even when they are shut).

Don't know anything else to say.

There are a fair number of eye diseases which can cause a cluster-like picture. If you are just starting to have clusters it would be wise to get a good eye exam to rule out such problems. The issue is to know whether the headaches are true cluster or arising from another problem.

My right eye is considerably weaker then my left eye and always has been.

My CHs were originally on the left side but switched to the right side after about 5 years.

I have been sitting in the eye dr. chair when getting hit during an exam. My vision is 20/20 normally. But when getting hit my vision sucks big time and it is uncorectable no matter what lens the eye dr. puts up in front of my eyes. Nothing helps it.

My vision seems affected when I am having an attack. I can have attacks on either side, though usually - 80% - it is on the left and the opposite eye is affected. It is not that I loose vision in one eye, but it is a significant enough loss of clarity that I notice it.

... In the past, my right eye would become bloodshot, and I'd see everything with a reddish/pinkish hue... and my pain is on the right side....

... that hasn't happened for about 4 years...

And as far as vision... Ray Charles is one up on me...

Hype,

As Far as I know I have no vision problems. Am told my eyesight is slightly better than perfect, according to my last exam anyway. Wish I had more for ya. Of course the CH always makes me sensitive to light during an attack.

Legally blind in left eye .. get clusters on the same side. Does my vision change while getting hit ... how the hell would I know ??? There was a thread about this about 6 months ago, but the results were insignificant.

With me, my eye will swell and my eye sight gets very blurred on the side that I am getting hit with the cluster. I do not get the light sensitivity that I would get with migraines that I had in the past. Normally, I get hit on my right side, which is where my weaker eye is. (I was almost blind as a child on my left side had to wear a patch for 2 years to force me to use the eye and I still hve a lazy eye here) - But the CH's will shift sides and the swelling and blurred vision goes with the pain.

Hope this helps.

I did get my eyes checked when I first started getting hit and my eye site had not significantly changed, so glasses where ruled out as a trigger for me at least.

I have a stigmatism (sp?) in my left eye and my clusters are on the right.

In case you didnt read the posts above, I was only asking if you had a vision problem and if your cluster pain was experienced on the same side as a weaker eye since most people who do have vision problems normally have one eye that is stronger than the other

....not whether you get aura....not whether you have vision problems when you have pain....not whether your vision changes when you have cluster pain...

Simply if it was located on the same side as a weaker eye.

Sheesh

Hey Hyper!

No need to cop an attitude! People here are just trying to be helpful.

I have REALLY bad vision.. Used to have one eye worse than the other, but last time I went to the eye doc, he said they were the same ( which is bs, I can tell the difference. He put me in 5.75 contacts for both eyes and the right is just not as clear ) But the difference has gotten less.

Oh, but (sorry) the weaker side is the right and I get my ch on the left.

During a CH I can barely see out of my left eye... but that is because of the copious tearing that my left eye does not due to a change in vision.

Hey 9erfan!

I'll thank you to not judge what you preceive my intentions to be.

I'm not judging your intentions, I'm judging how your post came off sounding. Basically, like you were just fed up with the answers you were getting.

BTW, "more so" is 2 words. Sorry, I just couldn't take it anymore!

Geez, I must be feeling really bitchy today!

Holy crap, I only said "is my vision worse during an attack ... how the hell would I know" because if you are legally blind you can't see a thing cluster attack or not ... so I really wouldn't know. That line was not intended to piss ya off for crying out loud.

I answered your question, as asked.

20/15 in both eyes and never had any vision problems. CH on the right side chronic. I couldn't say that one eye is weaker than the other, and I still do not know what the heck an aura is...don't guess I get those.
