Hi
Welcome to Health care magic
Blurred vision and headache indicates refractive error. The treatment of this condition is by refraction and correction and wearing spectacles. Since the blurring of vision is not constant migraine also needs to be ruled out. Hence first your son/daughter needs eye test to rule out refractive error and later needs to consult pediatric doctor to rule out migraine.
You need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment.
