Headache for 2 months

[maggie2711]

had lasik wavefront on 21st september, 10 days later developed a persistent headache which i have all the time.  I have had mri, ct scans etc and all have came up clear.  My eye surgeon tells me that the headaches are not coming from the surgery as this would be highly unusual, and i have had my normal eye doc take a look and apart from dryness also cannot see anything that could cause headaches.  Could the dry eye be causing this persistent headache as i'm running out of options as to what to do next.

Sorry - more than I can help over this forum.  Need to be seen in person by excellent ophthalmologist.

i'm 32 and was told my vision is perfect 20/20  and have N5 vision for reading.  My eyes do get very dry and sore but no matter how much drops i put in they remain the same.

It's possible that dry eyes could be related to headaches - but should improve with use of preservative free artificial tears every 30-60 minutes if that was the cause.  If not - time to continue looking for other causes.  Just a thought - could be that you are over 40 and now have worsened near vision after lasik and are not getting eyestrain from constant computer use and reading?????  Is this the case?
