Dr. Jan Lei Iwata answered

Specializes in Ophthalmology

Have your sinuses : checked, and a complete eye exam too. You want to have a dilated exam and make sure it's normal. Discuss with the eye doctor if you have flashing lights and rule out ocular migraine or headaches. Also spend less time on the computer.
