Can being on the computer cause constant headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider: Visual sensitivity with tension headaches, sensitivity to light causing migraine events. But you may have developed chronic daily headaches which would occur even without the computer. These problems can be reversed, see your doc.
