“Does my vision cause headaches?”
I have poor vision and I have to wear glasses all the time. Is this maybe the cause of my frequent headaches?

Vision is a part of the nervous system so it may be the cause of headache . All headaches have to be investigated so see a doctor
It can if your glasses' prescription is outdated. This requires a visit to your optician if necessary.
Eye strain is a very common cause of headaches in young people. If the glasses are not correct, then the headache could persist. Also, even with glasses, if you constantly work on a computer, you can have headaches.
Poor vision is frequently the cause of persistent headaches due to eye strain. If you have not had your eyes checked recently, you may need a new glasses prescription. Even if you have had them checked recently, your glasses prescription may have changed or may not be quite correct for you. Additionally, there can be other causes of headaches that can be diagnosed from a good eye exam. Stress, high blood pressure and new-onset diabetes are common causes of headaches. Persistent or severe headaches can indicate more serious problems however and should be followed up with a primary care visit, if an eye exam does not reveal and correct the problem.
Glasses should help correct your vision and take care of your headaches.
Headaches can come from migraine, poor vision and eye strain, long hours on the computer etc. See an ophthalmologist for review
