A member asked:

Why does the back of my head hurt when i wear my prescription glasses or regular sungasses? the pain is right above the base of my neck.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Could be vision related or due to the sunglasses/glasses rubbing on the back of your ears/head. If you don't have pain when you wear any eye wear then you've answered your question. Good luck
