You could try some non-prescription pain relievers and rest in a dark place and see if it gets any better. If not, you might talk to your doctor. He or she will have other possible treatments.

Eye pain and headache could be as a result of so many different condition, so it is very important to schedule an appointment with your PCP to examined properly. If it an eye problem, you may be referred to an ophthalmologist or optometrist. You may be given prescription medication if it has nothing to do with your eye. In most causes headache could be as a result of elevated blood pressure, tension headache, migraine, cluster headache, sinus problem and much more. So it is very important to see your PCP.
First let me state that there are three anatomical forms of eye pain: peri-ocular, arising from structures surrounding the eyeball, ocular, arising from the eye globe itself, and retro-bulbar, arising from structures behind the eye globe. It is generally the retro-bublbar pain that is more frequently associated with headache because it's causes directly affect the optic nerve as it exits the orbit into the brain. The commonest causes of retrobulbar pain include: optic neuritis (inflammation of optic nerve), orbital myositis (inflammation of eye socket muscles), and nonspecific causes arising from the pressure effect of intra-orbital inflammation on the optic nerve. Also included among the nonspecific headaches are the cluster headaches, migraine headaches, sinus headache, eye strain from prolonged reading, astigmatism, and referred pain. Sorting through these potential causes of your eye pain and headache will best be done by an eye care professional. In the mean time resting and lubrication your eyes, along with good sleep and non-prescription pain peels might be helpful.
The causes of headache with eye pain are varied. Migraine and cluster HA, as well as tension HA are possibilities. Sinus infections also sometimes present this way. Over the counter medications like Tylenol may help. If your headache persists you should see a family physician for additional evaluation and treatment.
