Course Summary
Prof. Bruce Evans & Anita Shah (16:22)
Migraine is a condition which affects 12-15% of the UK adult population. It is often hereditary, although migraine episodes can be triggered by environmental stimuli. Attacks can be debilitating, and can affect or be triggered by vision. For this reason, migraine patients sometimes consult optometrists. Anita Shah, a community optometrist based in Essex, talks to Professor Bruce Evans about the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of the condition. Professor Evans is a visiting professor at City and London South Bank Universities, Director of Research at the Institute of Optometry, and has conducted several research projects into migraine.
