Headache due to eyes
Headache can be a symptom of many eye diseases. That's why those with chronic headaches should have their eyes checked. In many cases, it is very important to consult an ophthalmologist. Now let's take a look at what causes headaches:-

  1. Refractive Error
  2. Age-related vision problems (Presbyopia)
  3. Glaucoma
  4. Inflammation of the eye
  5. Eye infection
  6. If there is something external to the eye (F. Body / Chemical Injury)
  7. Eye injury problems

Eye vision problem/ (Refractive Error):
This is a common problem. Nowadays its prevalence has increased a lot. Children and teenagers usually suffer from this problem. But it can happen at any age. When the image of an object is reflected on the retina, we see.

If the image falls forward or backward without being reflected in the retina, that is Refractive Error, then we cannot see the object properly. The eye then tries to put the image of the object on the retina through some changes. Then there is a headache. So if you get a headache while studying or doing something perfectly with your eyes, you have to think that there is Refractive Error. It should be remembered that it is very important to check the visual acuity of the headache patient.
 (Refractive Error) There are three common types:
  1. Myopia: Difficulty seeing distant objects
  2. Hypermetropia: Difficulty seeing near objects
  3. Astigmatism: The object can be seen from the side.
Treatment:
  1. Using glasses
  2. Using Contract Lenses
  3. Laser Surgery: Lasic is the latest technology, which is currently being used in ASIA.

Age-related vision problems:
When we look closer, the power of the lens of the eye increases, which it does by changing the shape of the lens. This ability decreases with age. As a result, it becomes difficult to read close text. It usually happens after 40 years. If you read for a long time, you get a headache. Along with the pain in the eyes, there is also pain in the forehead. The writings gradually become blurred.

Solution: Use glasses

Closed Angle Glaucoma:
A disease of a sudden loss of vision. Pain is one of the causes of red eyes. Its symptoms are so many and because of the variety of symptoms, these patients often go to others without coming to an ophthalmologist and the diagnosis of the disease is often wrong.
