How are migraine, dry eyes, and light sensitivity linked? And how can vitamins, alongside dietary and lifestyle changes, bring relief?
It was “like a stabbing icepick behind my eye,” says Dr. Rani Banik, MD, of her migraine headaches that intensified in her early 40s.
“I was prescribed basically every migraine drug that was available by various different doctors, headache specialists in my area, and nothing was working,” she says.
This led neuro-ophthalmologist Dr. Banik to look beyond her conventional medical training to functional medicine—focused on treating the root cause of disease.
Which foods did she start eating and which vitamins did she start taking to improve her migraines? How did she change her daily caffeine intake?
Dr. Banik joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to highlight dietary and lifestyle changes that can help relieve migraine, dry eyes, and light sensitivity.
These conditions are linked by their common neural pathways in the brain and are often suffered by patients in combination, she says.
Migraine, dry eyes, and light sensitivity also share a common trigger in the form of excessive screen use.
The blue light emanating from screens can cause migraines, aggravate light sensitivity, and cause dry eyes due to our blinking less when we use screens, Dr. Banik says.
What simple practices and technologies can we employ to minimize the impact of our often excessive and unavoidable screen time?
We probe these and other aspects of relieving migraine, dry eyes, and light sensitivity on Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon.
