Haedache: Sounds like you are getting a headache or pain around the eyes from eye strain (accommodation spasm of the small muscles in the eye). You can help this by reading, doing computer work less, or by using glasses with prescription that will help so the muscles do not have to work so hard. Usually noticed more after the age of 40 due to hardening of the natural lens (muscles work harder to accomodate.
