Accepted Answer

DEFINITELY: Headaches are often related to eye issues and changes in your sight by not wearing glasses if needed.  But headaches can also occur due to other problems- grinding and clenching of the teeth, sinus, etc. I would see a doctor for a consult.

Question 2

can not wearing your eyeglasses cause headaches?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: make sure you are up to date with your eye exams. If the symptoms worsen, please contact your primary care doctor.

Question 3

can you get headaches often from bring far sided but not wearing glasses?

Accepted Answer

Indeed you can: Uncorrected vision and eye strain is one of the most common causes of headaches. Being farsighted, rare in young people, may make ususl daily activities - especially anything that includes reading - even labels, keyboards or phone pads - a big problem. Get examined and use a corrective prescription. You'll feel better and make fewer mistakes and enjoy so much more of what you do.

Question 4

Eye strain: You definitely can develop headaches from eye strain if you don't wear glasses when you need them.  If the headaches persist even after you start wearing them regularly, then discuss this with your doctor.

Question 5

i was wearing glasses when i was in class 10 and recently when i passed my graduation exam when i wore the glass after sometime headache starts and when i take that out i feel relaxed but now that headache has started ?

Accepted Answer

Strain vs migraine: The glasses may have nothing to do with the headaches, but if you haven’t had your vision checked this past year you may need a new prescription. Suggest you see your optometrist and figure out if you need a new look on life !

Question 6

been wearing glasses daily for yrs. prescription changed 2 x. was told to wear for driving only. they give me headaches when i wear them. tried several prescription and still the same. told to not wear them for driving. can vision improve as you age?

Accepted Answer

: Vision does not improve with age. If anything near vision becomes difficult and most people need reading glasses. It is not feasible to provide a more meaningful opinion without examining you and your eyeglasses.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

wearing glasses for too long gives me a headache i usually wear contacts all day and then glasses at night when i get home until i go to bed.  some days i wear glasses all day long.  on those days i get a headache.  any idea why this could be happening?

Accepted Answer

There : There may be a problem with your eyeglasses, e.g., the optical centers of the lenses may not match your pupil location, or the eyeglasses may no longer be the correct prescription.  A comprehensive eye examination by your ophthalmologist would be the best way to determine the cause of the headaches.

Question 8

can you get headaches, dizziness, and slight pressure behind the eyes from not wearing glasses when you need them?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not wearing glasses can cause these symptoms.

Question 9

i am wearing glasses.my eyes pains and i get headache, i checked my eyes twice it match the power of glasses(checked by a contact shop not by a doctor.

Accepted Answer

Recheck: Go back to the prescribing eye doctor and have refraction rechecked and the fitting of your glasses analyzed. Often a cycloplegic refraction and  ocular alignment assessment resolves the problems. The glasses may be too strong or astigmatism off axis or an undetected phoria that has decompensated to a tropia with the glasses. The latter two ideas would have double vision symptoms.

Question 10

could it be healthy for my eyeglasses to give me a headache occasionally?

Accepted Answer

No damage done: You can experience symptoms of eye starin if you are wearing the incorrect prescription, or a poorley fitted pair of glasses.  Bifocal can take some time to get used to.  If you are having symptoms, get the prescription and fit checked.
