That's interesting. I started getting ocular migraines several years ago. I can get three in one month, and then go several months without having one. It's been so long since I've had one now, I'd completely forgotten about it. There is no headache associated with mine...just visual disturbance and maybe a little brain fog.
Seemingly good read here on migraine disorders:

"Migraine Disorder is a new, descriptive term intended to include a currently disparate group of medical symptoms and conditions which might have a common pathophysiologic etiology. The unifying idea is that there are a number of complaints that are related to a malfunction, or hypersensitivity of the sensory and autonomic nervous system in these people. Furthermore, there appears to be a common genetic influence in this neuropathy. The link to migraine is strengthened in patients who have a history of one or more of the three most common symptoms of a migraineur: recurrent intense headaches, odd transient ocular symptoms (random white spots, zigzags, loss of vision, or blurring and motion intolerance (car sickness). In each of these conditions a person with this defective nervous system have a hypersensitive pain, visual or balance system. Another common theme among people with a migraine disorders is that hormonal fluctuations aggravate the defective nervous system."
