Hi ...
You should get a detailed eye check up done to rule out various things . Headache also can be due to eye, sinus, migraine, stress or neurological issues ..
So eye check up first...then if problem not diagnosed ..one by one rule out other things.

If you mean to say that it has increased from -0.5 to -2.50, then probably it's because of Cataract.
Cataract is associated with progression towards myopic/minus number.
Please attach the current spectacle prescription.
