hello guys, good day! My head aches for 3 days now, i tried pain reliever and used menthol cones to ease the pain but it keeps coming back. Maybe it's because of my eyes.. Strained due to long hours in front of the computer. I remember my eye glasses so i have to start wearing it again but have to change the lens because its broken. I use to be wearing glasses everyday, but when i knew that it would increase my eyes' grade when using it everyday As what my eye doctor said, I always thought that wearing glasses could cure my blurred vision,but found out that it's not. So i stopped wearing it everyday and besides some say i looked old, but now i only use it when my head hurts just to stop the pain. How about you guys... Do you wear glasses or contact lens? have a great day ahead...

No, i don't wear glasses or contacts. But i experience headaches for two days and the doctore says the cause is maybe the eyes. I haven't tried to visit eye doctor since i don't have time. I just let my eye relax when it was so exhausted reading report at work and i don't wash my face because it will affect my sight.

I have a 6/6 on both eyes so i don't require glasses or contact lenses right now but sure in the near future i will be in need of any one of them because i constantly sit before my PC and stare on it for long hours.

I wear glasses. I would have liked to wear contacts, but because I had a virus in one eye when I was younger, that eye doesn't get used to the feeling and I can't keep them in. Have a nice day

I wear my glasses since 2nd yr in college. I have 2 glasses now. I tried to wear contact lens about 1 yr and stopped, it irritated my eyes. I can't see things clearly up to 1 meter from me, but I didn't like to wear my glasses everytime, makes my eyes tired. I use my glasses when I watching TV or movie or to see people

I have glasses. I should be wearing them but I always forget. Besides, I usually get a headache when I wear them (than when I'm not). I guess, it's just I'm not used to wearing them. Now, I have to thank you for this post as it reminded me to wear my glasses :P Thanks!

hi mycharm! i hope you not having those headaches anymore. but i agree, headaches has something to do with our eyes. i experienced something like that when i was in high school. i used to have mild headaches and then i felt there was something wrong with my eyes. my mother took me to an EENT specialist and after the examination, the doctor recommended that i wear an eyeglass for six months. and i did. i kinda enjoyed wearing it because i felt like smarter. but it was a lot of hassle too so i was happy when it was finally time to stop using it. and i guess it did its work to my eyes. plus of course, i was taking a medication too then. but the eyeglass was effective. i don't wear glasses anymore and i certainly don't wear contact lenses. its a bit of a hassle to wear contacts as far as i can see. i have an officemate who wears one. and she can't sleep at lunchbreaks because of it. ^__^;;

I have been wearing glasses for more than half my life on earth! But sometimes I wear contact lens... however glasses seem more comfortable than contact lens!

I am wearing glasses right from 1986. Constant use of glasses has prevented my eyes power from further deterioration.

Hi well i am far sighted and i use glasses daily and most of time specially when working on computer, watching Tv or Driving. where as during reading and writing i can do without them. I am not comfortable with lenses so these are glasses sitting on my nose.and i dont mind looking bit older. Wish u all the best,there are few Home pathic drops which hurt a bit but stop further increasing the number, just check some homepath doc take care and bye

I used to wear eye glasses because that's what my optometrist told me.Just like you i found out that it doesn't really cure you but instead after 1 year your grade increase that's why i stop wearing it.I only wear it when it is necessary.

I have this two kinds. Sometimes I wear glasses when I 'm in home, I go out wear contacts it's make me look nice. If you are really with a bad sight is no good to you don't wear glasses. Often wear contacts can do harm to eyes, so I keep wear this two kind of glasses. I almost wear three days in a week for contacts.

I wear contacts and glasses. When you go to your eye doctor, make sure you tell them that you spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen. My contacts and glasses have this sort of tint in them so that my eyes and head won't hurt when I spend hours and hours online. I take online classes and most of the jobs I have had required me to be in front of a screen all day. Until then, better get some ibprofen so that you can treat your headaches without hurting your body. Good luck!

I need my eyeglasses. actually, it's both a correctional glasses and at the same time a computer glasses. I need it since I'm in front of the computer almost 24 hours a day. I don't like wearing contacts. Haven't worn one actually. I'm afraid that with my clumsiness, I will get my first incident of an eye infection. haahhaha. will never try that... never!
