Do i need glasses if i have daily headaches, eye pain, and difficulty focusing when reading?

Possibly: These symptoms can be caused by not wearing glasses when you should be. See your eye doctor to be sure.

Most likely: If your problem is only during reading, try getting over the counter reading glasses and see if it makes a difference. You can get head aches and eye pain if you are straining to read without glasses. If that doesn't help, you need to see an eye doc.
