A member asked:

Is it possible for you to get headaches if you're not wearing glasses and you need them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
