This could be Migraine. Avoid precipitating factors like lack of sleep, missing a meal, exposure to sunlight etc.
Use your glasses regularly, these symptoms are very unlikely due to glasses.
If these symptoms are frequent and severe, you need Migraine treatment and prophylaxis
Next Steps

Migraine can be provoked by bright light and excessive screen use. Do you have a history of any such previous such episodes?
Less commonly it can be due to change in glasses power and conditions like uveitis.

Yes Your symptoms are suggestive of migraine.
Prevention is best way to avoid episodes.
Avoid caffeine, chocolate, cheese, bright light, loud music.
Get dilated refraction to rule out overprescribed myopic correction (if not done previously)
Also develop habit of using glasses regularly. Initially it may increase headaches for few days, but your ciliary muscle tone will improve.
Consult neurologist for confirmation of migraine
