What Causes Headaches And Sensitivity In The Eye?

Hi,

I get bad headaches almost every evening around 6-9pm but sometimes during the day. Also my right eye is enlarged (or swollen or inflamed not sure how to say it) and is hypersensitive to light (photophobia maybe?) and tears up a lot. My right eye problem NEVER goes away however my headache will if I take migraine pills.

I have to sit on the far left side at the movies and watch TV out of my left eye or my right eye will get VERY irritated and tear up and swell and feel uncomfortable.

I told my eye doctor this problem and he didn't seem that interested in helping saying it had to do with allergies. I take allergy pills (claraten) but they don't help my eye they help my allergies. Also, sunglasses don't help ether. My uncomfortable right eye is effecting my life more and more and i wear glasses and plan on getting lasik soon but i'm not sure if that will make my eye worse.

I mentioned the headaches before because I thought it was connected to my eye problem but my main concern is my right eye :/

What can I do to treat it?
What should I ask my doctor for or tell him?
Can I get lasik with my eye acting the way it is?

Right now it seems the best idea is to wear an eye patch!
