aim of assessment
• Diagnose and treat ophthalmic causes of headache• Recognise benign headache patterns with ophthalmic feature• Recognise ophthalmic symptoms or signs of intracranial or systemic
cause of headache• Know when to refer

assessment
• VA• Refraction
– under corrected hypermetropia, overcorrected myopia, presbyopia
• Slit Lamp examination• IOP• Neurologic assessment
– VF, EOM, Cranial Nerves, Pupils • Skin/Scalp
– rash, temporal A

ophthalmic causes of headache• Visible
– corneal abrasion/ infection, iritis, scleritis• Refractive error
– mild frontal headache, worse with prolonged visual task• Heterophoria/ Heterotropia
– mild frontal headache, intermittent blur or double vision• Angle Closure Glaucoma
– Severe pain around eye, haloes, loss of vision, redness• Pigment dispersion Syndrome
– intermittent blur, haloes and eye pain after exercise or pupil dilation • Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus
– pain, hyperesthesia, rash or vesicles in Vi +/- ocular inflammation

benign headache patterns
• Migraine– +/- aura, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, phonophobia
• Cluster Headache– tearing, rhinorrhoea, sweating, ptosis +/- miosis
• Tension headache• Sinus disease

What not to miss: headache with an intracranial origin
• Causes– tumors, inflammation, infection (meninges or paranasal sinuses), arterial
dissection or aneurysm, benign intracranial hypertension• History
– recent onset or increasing severity, constant, worse with coughing, straining or lying down
– normal vision, transient obscurations of vision, visual field defects•Examination
– anisocoria, ptosis, disc swelling, cranial nerve palsy

Pupil Involving IIIrd nerve Palsy
• IIIn function– EOM: MR, IR, IO, SR, Levator– PARA to iris sphincter and ciliary mm
• Symptoms– Acute headache, double vision, nausea, neck stiffness
• Signs– Ptosis, EOM limitation (SO and LR work unopposed), pupil dilated

• age > 50 years• headache
– recent temple/ frontal headache and tenderness
• vision– acute severe vision loss, amurosis fugax,
diplopia• systemic
– jaw claudication, polymyalgia, malaise, weight loss, fever, sweats
• Signs– field loss or blur– RAPD– swollen, pale or hyperemic
