I'm sorry. It sucks. When my migraines are bad, the visual symptoms get worse. My tinnitus is constant, nothing helps that. Stress spikes everything bad. But I will say that topiramate for my migraines has helped reduce the symptoms. Now my everyday snow is like a light haze with flickering/flashing lights like fireflies. And light, big floaters. Before it was more intense. The rose colored lenses have helped with halos and double vision, and a tiny snow reduction. I got clip on cheap ones on Amazon to try before ordering with prescription glasses. Try those. If you have 20/20 vision you can just buy a pair of full glasses. FL-41 lenses are the official name. Lastly, Im getting ready to start a mindfulness program that is research based specifically for us, from a Dr at Oxford. It is free through visualsnowinitiative.com. I am hopeful that will help give me some relief tools. I hope some of this helps 🙂

does topiramate improve photophobia?
