Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Yes undetected eye power can cause headache and neck pain.

Because of eye power: you can not seen properly.
Now your eye will try to see clear it, so your eye muscle have required extra efforts.
And after continuous extra effort your eye muscle get fatigued and also increased slight intraocular pressor that lead to headache.
In presence of power, yo have to accommodate frequently.
You have to changed your posture/ head frequently to see clearly.
Again fatigue of neck muscle lead to neck pain.

So please check your eye power and get corrected glass or lens.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
