A member asked:

Can having poor eye sight cause bad headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: Migraine headaches always have some trigger, and if you are squinting or your eye sight causes stress for you, this could be a cause of tension headache, and, with a family heredity, might even trigger a migraine. If bright light causes sensitivity, this may be a clue for migraine, see your eye doc and get worked out.
