What is goggle migraine? It seems to have been identified only recently by a Dr. Alan Pestronk of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. If you wear the headband on your swim goggles too tight, you may get a splitting headache. So, if you've thought your headache was only because you were not in shape, it may be because your strap is too tight. The best remedy is to use goggles with soft rubber rims which fit around Lloyd Osbourne Leslie Crow your eyes.
