A member asked:

Do constant headaches in my occipital lobe mean i need glasses?

Dr. Tim Conrad answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Possible: A need for glasses can cause headaches when trying to use your eyes. An ophthalmologic exam is recommended if this is the case. If the headaches do not seem related to vision, see your primary care physician instead.
