Eye and Head Ache
My eyes and head start aching when I look at any screen for more than 20 min. Did get my eyes tested and there was no power.
I do have dryness but the headache is now hindering with my work.
Any exercise and tests to diagnose the issue?

Convergence insufficiency & dryness (computer vision syndrome) may be reason for headache, emmetropic eyes may cause headaches, if these problems are present, better visit experienced ophthmologist & ask him to look into these problems.

You should get an eye surgeon s opinion.
Your eye muscles may be weak or dry eye may be causing the headache. Your doctor can test for dry eye also
