ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the retina and microvascular alterations with optical coherence tomography (OCT) or optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO).

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to find relevant literature on patients with MA or MO using OCT/OCTA devices. The eligible data were analyzed by Stata Software (version 15.0).

Results

There were 16 studies identified, involving 379 eyes with MA, 583 eyes with MO, and 658 eyes of healthy controls.
