Hi.. Raised hemoglobin is a condition known as polycythemia, and yes these can cause eye symptoms and headaches too.. Most often the cause for polycythemia is unknown when it is referred to as polycythemia vera and occasionally it is secondary to a few factors and other condition.. A few among such causes include smoking, high altitude, liver, lung,kidney disorder and rarely one of the tumours.. Hence an evaluation is done to see if such associated factors are present.. The treatment will depend on the cause.. Hence consult a hemotologist, he will be able to answer most of your questions.. Alternatively you may chat with one of the doctors available on this website for more info..
