Different Version of Migraines?

I've been relatively Migraine free for the past month or so which is why I've stopped logging my symptoms. I did have a string of days were my eyes were very susceptible to eye strain (left eye, band along the top 1/3, lasted maybe 5 minutes per episode for about 4 episodes over 6 days).

Yesterday however I had several eye pains that felt as if someone were stabbing me in the eye or just behind the eye. These pains seemed to become reduced when I closed or covered the eye and were worst while I was gazing at the computer screen.

The pains individually lasted less than a minute, sometimes for only several seconds, but would at times repeat several times, almost as if in a rhythm, before becoming dormant again. Once I went to bed I had very few pains despite reading before going to sleep. After waking I had a few very dull pains but these ended after about an hour and were not as painful or frequent as the ones the night before.

I did not wear my glasses at all during the weekend.
