If you are having an eye migraine attack, then you can't need treatments for it. Eye migraine is called by many names (silent, visual, ocular, optical, ophthalmic, typical aura with headaches and migraine aura without headaches). But the use of the name (migraine) doesn't mean that you are experiencing a headache pain.
Visual migraine patient passes through this migraine without knowing it was a migraine. It affects one eye via having symptoms of one of the following:
Migraine
1- Temporary eye blindness ( just a spot out eyes, in the peripheral side or the center )
2- Temporary blindness
3- Blurred vision
4- Flickering lights ( this interferes with your vision )
5- Zigzag lines
It may be accompanied by a headache pain, but it is a rare phenomenon. The physical visual headache symptoms are heightened sounds or lights sensitivity, fatigue, vomiting and nausea.
Why does eye migraine happen? This migraine type attacks two head parts: The visual function center in the brain and the eye itself. This is due to a blood vessel's spasm behind the eyes.

1- A person who has a history of one of the following: migraines, epilepsy, depression and sickle disease ( a genetic disorder of the blood which gives abnormal normal blood cells' difficulty in passing through vessels).
2- Women in general ( scientists have shown that less men suffer from migraine than women).
3- Possibly women and men under 40 ages.
