Abstract
We aimed to investigate the relationship between contact lens (CL) usage and migraine attacks. Our patient who began using CL with different base curves experienced discomfort and burning of the eyes. The ocular complaints were followed by migraine attacks. The frequency of migraine attacks decreased significantly when the flatter base curve was selected. We assessed the potential causal relationship between CL and migraine.
