Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having astigmatism. Astigmatism can lead to headache. This can be treated by the use of appropriate spectacles.
Hence I advice you to consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist for examination and prescription of spectacle.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
