Possibly, yes. Eyestrain headaches can result from contraction of muscles in and around the eyes. They are common among computer workers. These headaches cause mild pain in the forehead or in the eyes themselves, which frequently improves after the eyes are rested. Taking five minute breaks every hour and shifting the focus of your eyes from close up to far away may help prevent eyestrain headaches. However, eyestrain is generally not a cause of recurrent or chronic headaches. If you suffer frequently, you should have your eyes checked to determine your need for glasses or a new lens prescription, and to rule out glaucoma, which can cause headache symptoms.
