Dealing with Dry Eyes: Sharp Pain and Headaches

I have dry eyes and have been treating it with otc eye drops and fml when it gets bad. This past week I have had sharp pain behind my eyes and a temporal headache that lasted for 4 days . Going to a after hour care tonight . Can not get an appointment with eye doctor or gp. Anyone else have eye pain and headaches associated with their dry eyes .

I had days where I wake up with headaches behind my eyes. My dry eye has an allergic component. Benadryl really helps

You might want to research trigeminal dysphoria -- a visually-induced neurological issue. Headaches, eye pain, & dry eye are all symptoms. I was diagnosed earlier this year. Finally explained the headaches I've had for about 2-3 years.

Hello, what did you do to treat your dysphoria? Get new glasses like neurolens to improve eye coordination and focus ?
