Answer 1

Has he had his eyes checked lately? I was having the exact same issue, and it turned out I needed glasses... Until now, I've always had 20/20 vision, but it was a relief it wasn't a tumor or something!

Answer 2

Hi me!:)
They're commonly called eye migraines, but they're actually a group of different types of migraine, including ocular migraines (or occular), ophthalmic migraines, a type of silent or acephalgic migraine, and even ophthalmoplegic migraines. Confused? Don't worry, you'll see it all clearly in a moment...

Eye migraines – silent migraine:

If this is his syptoms he may be getting strange visual disturbances, usually lasting less than an hour, but no headache. He may likely have a type of migraine, which needs to be treated in basically the same way as any other type of migraine. However, you do need to make sure he sees a good doctor so that she can rule out other problems that can do permanent damage.

Eye migraines – Occular migraines:
Ocular or retinal migraines are quite rare. You get partial (retinal) or complete (ocular) blindness, in one eye or two. This disturbance lasts less than an hour. Sometimes it comes with a headache, sometimes it doesn't. The headache (often a dull ache behind the affected eye) usually happens afterwards, but can happen before or even during (our bodies are so unpredictable!). This type of migraine varies with which artery is being hit.
Occular (ocular) migraine occurs repeatedly, though not usually in a regular pattern. You could go days or years between attacks.

Read this article for more details on ocular migraine cause and treatment.

Once again, it's a good idea to see a doctor or ophthalmologist to make sure there isn't something else going on. It's especially important to see a doctor if your symptoms are accompanied by headache.

Eye migraines - Ophthalmic migraine:
Ophthalmic migraine ( also called opthalmic migraine) has the same symptoms as the occular migraines mentioned above, but occur at the height of the migraine, and most often occur in young men. Sometimes as time progresses the migraine sufferer will lose the headache and end up with a ophthalmic migraine which is a silent migraine (are you getting the hang of this now?). These are much more common eye migraines.
The International Headache Society doesn't use this classification. That's why you may read a variety of descriptions with the same name. But many of these are now outdated.

Eye migraines – ophthalmoplegic migraine:

These have been called a rare type of migraine, though researchers now believe it's not technically a migraine at all. The headache is usually severe, and is accompanied by weakness in one or more of the eye muscles. Because of the decreased eye movement, you may experience temporary (less than 2 hours) double vision, drooping eyelid, or dilated pupil. Most often this problem is diagnosed in children.
It is very important to have a thorough examination if you suspect you may have ophthalmoplegic migraine. Dr. Seymour Diamond writes in Conquering Your Migraine,"Double vision and muscle weakness may be caused by an aneurysm or it may have another organic origin...the individual should undergo a thorough examination and appropriate testing to rule out conditions other than ophthalmoplegic migraine."

Eye migraines - Basilar migraines

Basilar migraines are not strictly just “eye migraines”, but the eye symptoms are often quite obvious and severe. These symptoms include a visual aura but also eye twitching, a graying out visually or even temporary partial blindness, vertigo, dizziness and more. This type of migraine is rare, but has some concerns of its own, so we have another article with all the details. Read here about basilar migraines and the unique problems that come with them.
Here some more info.
The casue could be anything from eating to watching tv!

Answer 3

Sounds like he is having sinus headaches, the pain in the eye is an indicator of that, cause sinus pressure builds up and will cause both the headache and eye pain.

Usually the reason for sinus headaches are allergys or a sinus infection. He should try some antihistimes first, and if thier is no improvement in a day or two, then he should be checked by a doctor.

Answer 4

He needs to have an eye exam ASAP. And then see his primary doctor and be checked for migraines (if he doesn't need glasses.)
Also dairy foods, nuts and super cold foods can cause this problem. Monitor his diet and sleeping patterns as well as any new changes in your/his daily environment ie (new cleaning product, co workers with a new pet etc.) Lastly he could have suddenly developed an allergy. Your doctor is your best bet. He can test for all these things. But the eye exam should be done first, cause that will be his first advice. Been there.
Good Luck,
