Is my visual disturbance due to eye problem or wearing glasses for headache?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have headaches because of my eye problem. When I checked my eyes, I got a + 0.25 number in SPH, and my doctor suggested using eyeglasses. This is the first time me wearing glasses. When I wear glasses, I see distant objects closer than they are, but when I do not wear glasses, I can see them clearly. Is it because I have an eye problem or because I am wearing glasses for the first time. Please let me know if this is an issue or not?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I feel + 0.25 is not a significant number, and I suggest you do not wear glasses. Even if you do not wear glasses, you will not have headaches with such a small number. Headaches can be because of reasons other than the eye. I suggest you visit a physician to rule out migraine, sinusitis, anemia, or a tension headache. I suggest you use eye drop Ocurest plus (Phenylephidrine hydrochloride, Naphazoline hydrochloride, Menthol, and Camphor) three times a day for two weeks. This drop will relieve your eye tiredness and frontal headache associated with it. Thank you and take care.
