I noticed, this evening,1 that I'm significantly more photosensitive in my right eye than in my left eye. I have "side-locked" migraines: they are always on the right hand side of my head.
... I also don't actually get much information from my left eye -- it's generally weaker, and while my right eye's open my field of useful vision is dominated by input from my right eye. I get some peripheral vision on my left, but my depth perception is... poor.
So! I have no idea whether my right eye seems to be more photosensitive during a migraine because that's the side my headache is on, versus that's the eye that's more sensitive in general, and I also have absolutely no idea how I might go about experimenting on myself to try to establish which it is. Suggestions (on the back of a postcard or otherwise) very welcome!
1 why yes, I am going to be saying in my next GP appointment that I do understand that I'm not actually a dehydration risk but nevertheless my migraines are now definitely lasting more than 72 hours as migraines, so, can we address this? as an urgent problem? please?
