Good people of Nairaland please i need your help.
Of recent i discovered that whenever i'm reading,after like an hour,i will begin to have headache,majorly on my fore head and connected to one of my eyes(either that of left or right)

After my careful observation,i discovered that the headache is caused by my eyes,mostly when i read under bright light,even when i watch TV for like an hour or was using my phone,the headache will start.

I'v been taking drugs to suppress the headache but i'm just afraid.Which kind of eye defect is this and whats the solution?

Less i forget,i think i have this Short sightedness too because most times when i get late to class,i don't see the board from afar even though people beside and even behind me see clearly.
Its realy affecting me now in school,please help me.

Pls see an eye specialist in any teaching hospital nearest to u. Wish u well

Go see an optician ASAP!

He already knows it's a medical problem, yet he still prefers to complain on NL, rather than go see a specialist.

The problem is most certainly astigmatism. Coupled with the fact that you are shortsighted, then it's a case of myopic astigmatism.
You will end up getting prescription lenses, preferably with anti-reflection coating to take care of the photo (light) sensitivity.
Taking analgesics will only provide a momentary relief.

Go see an optometrist ASAP.

Me thinks he needs an ophthalmologist, not an optician. An optician is only involved with glasses. A lotta problem could cause headache while reading; short sightedness, squinting while reading, stress, bad reading posture, etc. Anyway, it could not be any of these. Like someone said, you know u have a medical problem already, so wat you need to do is to see a doctor.
