You might be having herpes zoster infection in past
So your cornea became opacified
We need to start steroid eye drops if there is significant opacification
Please use lubricants as of now
Headache is because of post herpetic neuralgia
You need to use tablet trypt 25 mg(amitryptilline 25 mg)one time a day at night time for 1 week
