please remember if you have ADHD or autism and migraines: talk to your optometrist about your eye exam! get it done with your eyes dilated! learn to relax the muscles in your face! if you feel like you try to “win” your eye exam your prescription could be wrong!

to explain a bit: when you try to win, you are squinting without realizing it, or using context clues, it leads to your Rx being weaker than it needs to be to correct your vision most of us have been squinting so long we don’t realize we are doing it, causing tension to build in the face/jaw/neck

this can lead to a domino effect of migraines, binocular vision disorder (which can cause vertigo/nausea), TMJ, or chronic pain issues once i got my Rx fixed (and got prisms) nearly all of my migraines went away instantly (except hormonal/barometric pressure ones, the bastards)
