These symptoms indicate migraine.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed history, the symptoms of cloudiness of vision followed by headache indicate migraine.
Usually migraine attacks tend to become less severe with increasing age and may get resolved by itself.
The treatment of migraine is by use of analgesic drugs or ergot alkaloids in acute episode.
The recurrent attacks require use of anti migraine drugs like flunarizine to prevent recurrent episodes.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation if diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards

Brief Answer:
Flunarizine needs to be taken for 3-6 months.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
Migraine is known to run in families and few types of migraines are hereditary in nature.
However the exact cause of migraine is not known. Majority of migraines are associated with prodromal phase or aura. The most common prodromal symptoms involve eye in the form of cloudiness of vision, flashes of light, floaters...
These aural symptoms occur because of neurological disturbances occurring in the brain during migraine.
These prodromal symptoms recover completely and they last only for few hours, hence they will not lead to permanent damage.
The treatment of the recurrent attacks of migraine is by use of drugs like flunarizine or beta blockers like propranolol and usually these drugs are need to be used for 3-6 months for better results, under supervision of your treating physician.
Hope I have answered your questions and the information is helpful to you.

Brief Answer:
It is probably a conjunctival nevus.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
It seems from the history that you are probably having a pigmentation on the white part of the eye. If it is pigmentation of the conjunctiva called as nevus, no treatment is required until unless it is increasing in size or causing any discomfort.
However since you have not described it clearly, if you can send a photo of the affected eye, I can confirm the diagnosis for you and advice you more accurately.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
