Default Lesion Question

Hello all

I had my 1st MRI in October and according to the radiology report it was normal. I also got a letter from the nuero saying it was normal. However when I went in for my follow up with the neuro's PA she told me that there was a lesion on the occipital lobe of my brain.

I am being sent for visual evoked potentials testing because of continuing vision problems in my right eye. The eye is blurry all of the time and it is not corrected by my glasses or contacts.

The PA told me that this lesion was due to my history of migraines. If this is the case, do I need to be worried about this lesion? Do migraines cause lesions? I have heard of them increasing your risk of stroke but didn't know that they could cause lesions.

TIA
