Do I still need glasses because of headaches if I have good vision?

Question

Just wondering.
I have good vision, I can see pretty well.
But these headaches keep popping up everyday, ya know, sometimes migraines during the week.
I'm going to an eye doctor when my new insurance clears.
Is there a chance I'd need glasses?

Answer 1

You should rule out needing glasses first and having the health of our eyes checked. If you dont need glasses/eye health normal, then I would recommend you seeing your primary doctor for the migraine/headaches. Any sinus/allergy problems? Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

A chance.

Optical problems aren't the most common cause of migraines but some people have binocular vision difficulties,
or slight refractive errors, which can be triggers.
Sometimes a small Rx can make an unexpectedly large difference.

But, If such is found, I'd suggest only getting that made up after other options have been tried unsuccessfully.
Just on a consideration of odds and costs.

A good check-up on the eyes is always a good idea with repeated headaches. It can eliminate several possibilities, and sometimes point to the problem.
