Question

Answer 1

it's possible that it could be eye strain from the TV and computer...try limiting these activities, or take frequent breaks to rest your eyes. It's also possible that you do need glasses..if you continue to have these headaches, you need to see an eye doctor and have your vision checked.
other ways to help - be sure to wear sunglasses when outdoors, don't sit close to the tv or computer screen, and look up some simple eye exercises (on the internet) that can help alleviate eye strain.

Answer 2

I used to have the exact same problem (but I wear glasses and have since I was 3). Don't stress, I don't think there's anything majorly wrong with your eyes (HOWEVER, get them checked to be safe). Your problem I think, is too much screen time. Your eyes are tired and they're just telling you to take a break. My advice, and please take it or l eave it, is to lay down in a darkened room and lay with your eyes closed. It'll give them a break and it'll alleviate the headache.
