Hello
It seems from the history that you are having headache with episodes of dehydration. Dehydration can lead to headache and painful eyes.
Dehydration can lead to generalized weakness and headache and this can cause painful eyes indirectly.
Dehydration can also cause dryness of eyes resulting in eye pain. Hence I advice you to use artificial tears eye drops to avoid dryness and avoid episodes of dehydration.

Thank you
