Are my frequent headaches due to vision problems?

Headaches are normally not due to vision problems. They're due to all the stresses and strains of everyday life. They're due to migraines or they're due to something else. There are a couple clues, though, that headaches may be related to your vision. If you tend to get the headaches when you're doing intensive work, particularly reading, that's a clue that your eyes may be causing it. If you're actually getting a headache in your eyes or around your eyebrows, it's a little more likely that that's related to your eyes, although it still usually is something else instead.
