Dr. Sandra Lora Cremers answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Head hurts: Head hurts/above eye/behind brow arch could be due to: dehydration, diet issues/sensitivities (see eyedoc2020@blogspot.com for more info; sinusitis (see PCP, or ENT MD), narrow eye angles (see eyeMD for Gonioscopy if needed); need for glasses or change in glasses (asthenopia); migraine; rarer causes such as blood clots, masses/cancers are less likely but your MD can evaluate to be sure.
