How to differentiate between ophthalmic migraine and epilepsy?

Patient's question:

How to distinguish between ophthalmic migraine and epilepsy? What are the differences between the two diseases? How can one recover?

Doctor's answer:

This type of migraine is caused by refractive errors or eye diseases, so its main symptom is a headache. This headache can be extremely severe, but epilepsy recurrence is generally classified as grand mal and petit mal. Patients may experience a momentary or sustained loss of consciousness for more than two minutes, making it relatively easy to identify. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
