Abstract

We read with interest the paper by Yenice et al. [5] regarding short wave length automated perimetry (SWAP) in patients with migraine. Yenice et al. studied 15 participants with migraine and 18 controls and suggest a link between migraine variables and glaucoma visual field indices. There remains debate about the vascular interaction at the optic disc in people with migraine and the evidence on the issue of co-morbidity, as Yenice et al. acknowledge, is conflicting. Yenice et al. used inclusion criteria that included no demonstrable glaucomatous optic disc characteristics and their participants had intra-ocular pressure between 10 and 15 mmHg. To find glaucomatous field losses in this group would be surprising.
