Eyestrain is the Cause of Many Headaches.
Even a Small Prescription Can Relieve Your Headaches
Your eyes are very complex organs. They are an integral part of your nervous system. In fact, the retina is the only place where you can technically see your brain without opening your skull.
Headaches come in many varieties, from simple exhaustion to brain tumors and migraines.

How can the need for an eyeglass prescription cause you to have headaches?
Your focusing mechanism is not active when you are looking at an object far away.
Your eyes start to activate their focusing as an object comes closer to you.
When you have to hold the focus on a near object, your eyes can get tired.
Wearing glasses will help you see your computer and cell phone without causing strain.
Another cause of eyestrain is when your eyes have different prescriptions. Over-the-counter reading glasses are the same in both eyes and do not correct astigmatism. A prescription for your near work will balance your eyes, relieving your eye strain.
Even a small prescription can relieve headaches caused by eyestrain.
