Hi there,
An ocular migraine is diagnosed and treated by a team of doctors. An ophthalmologist will see you and make sure your eyes are healthy and not the cause for the pain, basically excluding all condition that might be causing pain. Then neurologist can treat you for the ocular migraine.
Good luck!
Hope you feel better soon!

Ideally treated by a neurologist with a subspecialty in Headache Management.
Generally a neurology consultation is best
First, get a thorough eye exam to rule out any other possible causes, and then have an experienced headache specialist manage your issue.
