Suggest Treatment For Ocular Migraine In An Elderly Person

I have had occasional ocular migraines for 20 + years but they are getting much more frequent...almost daily. I am 80 yrs old and had catarac surgery 2 years ago on both eyes. I already take a beta blocker to control raynauds. Any advice as to reason for frequency and treatment?
