Lately I've been getting headaches that feel like they are associated with my vision. I wear contacts and am completely up to date with my prescription and stuff. If I'm focusing on something and there is a moving background I get dizzy and feel sharp pains in my head. I also cannot read a scrolling ticker on a screen without the same thing. Certain moving lights do the same as well. What can this be?

I would see a doctor. They could be migraines - many times migraine headaches involve vision problems. There are a number of good medications that work quickly (in under 15 minutes) that can help. But there are a number of other things that could cause these symptoms. And only your doctor can tell you for sure.

It could be migraines or something very serious that should be checked by a doctor immediatly. I would go to the emergency room of a hospital, especially with sharp pains and dizziness. That way you will be checked out right away with the best equipment. If you don't have insurance or don't think you can afford it....go anyway and pay what you can afford...even if it's $10 a month. Maybe there's nothing wrong,but the piece of mind is better than the worry....nip it in the bud !!!!

Hi!
Make sure that you do not have your contacts mixed up with someone else in the family. I have seen that happen a lot many times.
Make sure that your number has not changed. Some times the eyes are in a phase of change and between the time you get tested and the time you receive your lenses, number has changed. This happens more than you would think.
Look into eye stress relieving exercises. Move away from computer monitors every15-20 min and try to look around at objects in the room. Getting out of office or even looking out of window changes the iris aperture and helps in circulation of fluids in the eye.
(experiment) You can also try wearing your glasses one day instead of lences and see if that makes any difference.

Talk with your eye care professional or your general doctor you need to have that checked out.
