I need glasses to see far only. i'm not sure if i'm getting headaches quite freq for not wearing them always like contacts are. is this why?

Headaches: Simple to find out. Leave out your contacts and wear your glasses only for a week. If your headaches leave, but then return when not wearing glasses again, you have your answer. There are many causes of headaches that are not vision-related. Try tylenol (acetaminophen) or if not allergic and no kidney or liver problems, naproxen(Aleve) or ibuprofin(Advil or Motrin) for relief. See your physician for eval.
