My eyes have improved a lot yesterday and today, so the optometrist was wrong, and fortunately I didn't spend money on new glasses.

That's good to hear. Propranolol did help me a little bit with preventing the most intense of my headaches. Given that most of the other meds didn't help at all, I consider this a good one. Just a hint -the extended release formula of Propranolol can be more expensive than the regular formula depending on your insurance. If you notice that the medication is expensive, you might be able to have it written as Propranolol SA instead of Propranolol ER. It makes little to no difference in actually preventing these episodes. There are certainly a lot of alternatives to steroid injections. Good luck in finding what works for you, kw66!!!
