When Headaches and Eye Problems Are Linked
Frequent headaches can stem from unexpected sources, including vision problems.
If you find yourself grappling with recurrent headaches, we recommend scheduling an eye examination to investigate potential vision-related factors. While headaches can arise from diverse origins and not all are linked to vision problems, the substantial overlap between the two underscores the importance of exploring this possibility to alleviate discomfort and enhance overall well-being.
Addressing Digital Eye Strain
In our digital age, the benefits of modern technology often come with their own set of challenges. Prolonged exposure to bright screens, whether for work or leisure, can lead to digital eye strain. Symptoms may include blurred vision, eye fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even frequent headaches.
Digital screens aren’t the sole culprits of eye strain. Untreated vision issues like farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, or age-related farsightedness (presbyopia) can also strain the eyes. For instance, with astigmatism, irregular corneal shape causes light to bend improperly, leading to squinting and potential headaches. Similarly, hyperopia and presbyopia can result in blurred vision when focusing on nearby objects, contributing to discomfort and headaches, particularly as we age.
