Two reasons for headache while working on computer first refractive error & 2nd is dryness ( computer vision syndrome),still I doubt your refraction has been done correctly after pupil dilation?,if not do revisit experienced ophthmologist for refraction after pupil dilation& use antiglare glass & for dryness you should try to have normal blinking while working on computer & also use lubricating eye drops 4-5 times regularly (Refresh liquigel)& do read my old blog on Practo about precaution to be taken while working on computer, with regards
