What Causes Pain Below Eye Brows/temple/top Of Head/neck/ Back/arms When Wearing Contact Lenses?

i wear contact lenses, and i am not sure if this pain is caused by using contact lenses. i have pain running from below my eye brows, the left side is worste, running to my temples, side of my left head , also on the top of the left side of my head, even my neck and back and arms because are sore. i am not sure it is because of my contact lenses as my left eye burns and tear when i put it on, the pain still is there when i use glasses but my eyes do not burn or tear. i am not sure whether to see a neurologist or an ophthalmologist.

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are wearing contact lenses and you are having pain below eye brows and head ache.
The watering in left eye is caused by contact lenses and this can be because of irritation of the eyes and treatment is by antibiotic eye drops.
However the headache is not related to contact lenses and requires evaluation by a neurologist or a physician for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
