Is there such a thing as an ocular migraine?

I thought the ocular “aura” was always a part of a true migraine? It can be more or less intense, but isn’t it always a part of it?

Also, a lot of people call a bad cluster thumping headache as a migraine, but I thought migraines have to have the three classic elements. Aura, headache and nausea.

I know I usually had all three. As I got older, I would sometimes get a bit of an aura and then it would go away without the headache and nausea.

It’s pretty rare, but one can have the visual symptoms of a migraine without the following headache. I’ve had the aura a few times with no headache.
