Experiencing headache
I went to an ophthalmologist for my routine eye checkup. Had only one complaint of dry eyes floaters. I was wearing specs before and they said I am wearing 0.5 more minus power for compound astigmatism for both spherical and cylinder. And they insisted not to change specs and continue sem. Now they gave CMC eye drop 1% tid . Earlier I was not experiencing headache but now I'm experiencing headache in the sem specs. Is this normal or something to be concerned about. thank you maam/sir

As a Neuroophthalmologist I can say that headache can have multiple causes
.
Lets start with the most basic one that is glasses checked , and dry eyes.
.
If done, need sound sleep and reduce stress.
.
Can be due to migraine if any aggravating factor.
.
Can be due to dehydration or acid reflux.
.
If all the things are ruled out, need to get evaluation done by a Neuro Ophthalmologist.
.
Thank you
