Hello,I would suggest that you get your eyes checked to rule out any refractive error [visual defect] as the cause of headache,if not it can be commonly due to tension headache for which you can take tablet paracetamol 500mg whenever in case of pain and also do some relaxation exercises like yoga.
It can also be due to migraine if the attack is preceeded by an aura i.e.seeing of lights ,vomitting etc,for which there is a prolonged treatment
