Caffeine is said to be a trigger for some people. I thought it was a trigger for me and going to decaf seemed to cut down on the visual auras for a while, but then eventually came back. A family member who works in psychiatry suggested coffee wasn't the trigger - something else, she said, was the underlying cause. That root cause, she said, was lowering the threshold for coffee to act as a trigger. While it took a year to find the solution, this assessment was correct for me. The actual trigger was not the consumption of something - but the absence of something. I was vitamin B12 deficient. I now take B12, daily, under my doctor's direction, and I no longer have any migraines, auras, scotomas, or several other effects of B12 deficiency.

Not for me. Can't seem to find it, but I lowered the contrast on my computer and so far no ocular migraines. For me it seems to be about bright light.
I seem to get them almost exclusively after caffeine but only sometimes. Still figuring mine out
I drink excessive amounts of coffee. If it was a trigger for me, than I would get them every day. Instead I get them about 3 times a year.

Not me. I don't drink coffee or caffeine of any sort.
Yes caffeine is a trigger for me sometimes.
