Hi,

Depression may present with a variety of somatic ( physical ) manifestations.This includes headaches.

How would you characterize your headaches?

Do you get enough sleep?

What aggravates and relieves your headaches?

Do you skip meals?

Any associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, weakness, numbness, visual symptoms?

hi,headaches are related with depression but it should not affect the vision.In some diseases like benign intracranial hypertension,raised intracranial pressure due to some brain lesion, vision is affected.

Please consult Neurologist,get fundoscopy(eye fundus examination) and MRI done.

Migraine do affect vision during the attack
