| June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month—a timely reminder that not all headaches start in the head. In fact, your eyes could be the hidden culprit: 1. Eye strain from long hours on digital devices: Staring at screens for extended periods can overwork your eye muscles, leading to tension, fatigue, and head pain—commonly known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome. 2. Uncorrected vision that makes your eyes work overtime: When your prescription is outdated or you need corrective lenses without realizing it, your eyes have to strain to focus. This extra effort can trigger frequent headaches. 3. Dry eyes causing irritation and discomfort: Inadequate tear production or poor tear quality can cause dry, gritty, or burning sensations that often contribute to overall discomfort—including headaches. The good news? Many of these issues are highly treatable with proper diagnosis and care. If you’re experiencing frequent headaches, a comprehensive eye exam might reveal the cause.
