Relieving Headaches With Eyeglasses

The pain just wont stop - the pounding and aching resulting from your headache just

wont give in! Youve tried everything for relief including cold compresses, warm compresses, no light, and even medication but nothing works! We all know how irritating headaches can be and your pounding head could be causes by a number of reasons, like stress, hormones, tension, neck strain, back aches, muscle aches, lack of proper nutrition, and even from your eyes! Research is finding that your eyes are a major point of cause for headaches. Fear not, if your headache is caused by optical issues, eyeglasses may be the easiest form of relief.

There are five headache-types that appear commonly and theyre all linked to optical issues. The number one cause of headaches stems from vision problems. The inability to see will cause strain on your eyes, causing them to squint. When you squint, youre putting pressure on your eyes, nose, and nasal cavity - resulting in a headache. Additionally, since your eyes a straining, youre putting more pressure on your eyes which can cause a headache. The sun is another headache proponent. Leaving your eyes unprotected from the sun will result in a headache due to the UV exposure and, again, squinting. Theres no reason to strain your eyes - just wear a simple pair of sunglasses. Glare is another cause of headaches and its extremely easy to avoid. Since were heavily exposed to glare via sunlight, computer screens, and even our cell phones, our eyes work harder and harder to focus - causing strain that is completely unnecessary. An anti-glare coating on your glasses or a glare-free computer screen shield will help.

Another headache proponent is actually more serious because the headache may be a symptom. Eye diseases often appear with the first sign being a headache. For this reason, people who suffer from prolonged headaches are encouraged to visit their ophthalmologist if the headache occurs for more than 72-hours. Many cataracts and glaucoma patients noted that a headache was the first sign of their disease and many of these people also noted that they were able to save their eye sight as well as get rid of the discomfort by visiting their eye doctor early.

The solution to many of the problems written above results in one small object: eyeglasses. Prescription glasses that are made to your most recent prescription will help solve your distance problems and many vision related issues. Getting a pair of glasses with tinted lenses (and a UV coating) will help block out the suns UV rays and keep you from squinting. You can also block out glare with polarized sunglasses. As written above, a simple anti-glare or anti-reflective coating placed on eyeglass lenses will help reduce the glare and get rid of glare-related headaches. This coating is especially helpful when driving.

If youve been diagnosed with an eye disease, it may be time to ditch your contact lenses and opt for a fashionable pair of prescription glasses. This will allow your eyes to heal and breathe during and after treatment. Sometimes, all you need to get rid of a prolonged headache is a simple pair of prescription eyeglasses and a new eyeglasses prescription when your vision changes. It really can be just that simple.
