What Causes Pain In Eyes?

Hi! I'm 39 years old, woman. Just check my eye with opthometrish and she said my eye is still ok with the present reading glasses. I been wearing a reading glass for over a year now. This last few weeks, I'm having problem with the lights. If lack, i feel it's still dark and lacks light but if i put more light, it hurts my eyes then it hurts my head specially the side of my head that it's like 2 sides wall wants to close like a door. I need to take paracetamol to ease the headache. I usually sleep it off when it occur but now, I have to rely with the med for the pain. what can i do ?

you are in marginal stage of reading glass change. you should get your complete eye examination. it include, refraction, fundus examination, tension measurement, and field tracing. in general examination diabetes and hyperventilation should be excluded. any problem detected should be treated. one thing is sure you are having photo phobia. it is intolerance to bright light. cataract status should be examined glaucoma should be excluded. in both the disease such problem will occur.
