    Author: Pandey H, Kritika, Sharma N, Alam MA, Khan FA, Dhoundiyal S.
    Journal: Int Ophthalmol; 2023 Sep; 43(9):3433-3444. PubMed ID: 37195565.
    Abstract:
    Headaches and facial pains are among the most frequent ailments seen in outpatient or emergency settings. Given the fact that some of the primary headaches and facial pains mimic the characteristic patterns seen in ocular diseases and related conditions, it is fairly common for these situations to be sent to an ophthalmology or optometry clinic and misdiagnosed as ocular headaches. This may result in a delay in starting an appropriate therapy, therefore extending the patient's illness. This review article aims to help the practitioners in understanding common causes of headaches and facial pains, approaching such cases in eye OPD and differentiating them for similar ocular conditions to impart an appropriate treatment or referral.
