Hi

I just wanted to know if migraines can cause blinspots to enlargen,and cause gradual blindness.

The reason I ask Is  because I find my blind spots getting bigger,

And I really have not looked into this matter till now.

When I have had my chronic cluster migraines it took up to 2 and a half days before full vision came back.Can you please help ?
