well if you've also been getting distorted vision every once in a while you MIGHT have something called "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome" (AIWS) and it has multiple other names. its the broad category for disorders like micropsia and macropsia (micropsia is wen ppl feel like they are growing while evrything around them shrinks, macropsia being the opposite) its basically a wide arrange of perceptional distortion (like some ppl feel like they are sinking into a whole or they will reach for the remote and their fingers shoot half a mile in front of them as the remote shrinks) its like the things that happened to Alice in Alice in wonderland (hence the name), scientists believe Lewis Carroll had that (the author) and he described it in this story. but this happens (extremly rare) is found in most children and happens mostly in the dark esp. wen lack of sleep or loads of stress. but are strongly associated with bad migraines. but this is usually a temporary condition and its a hallucination, not something wrong ur eyes are doing. but it could be many other things as well (sry, i just researched this syndrome for school and found it really interesting, esp. cuz i think i had a really minor case, but i just felt like sharing the info, sry... i guess i was showing off a bit...I'll stop now..lol SRY) but you should def. check it out with ur doc., i mean i get terrible short but painful bursts of migraines and its most likely associated with the fact that i hav a cyst somewhere in my brain so i don't know if that can relate or maybe sumthing u eat (choco. is said to hav migraine effects, not on ALL ppl)...

Some with migraines do wear glasses. But a headache caused by bad vision is not the same as headaches caused by migraines. If you need glasses and don't have them, you might get a headache, and you can get headaches if your prescription is wrong.
The name for recurrent type of headache?
There are many types of recurrent headaches. Migraines, cluster headaches, and chronic daily headache being the prime candidates.
What is the medical term for everyday headaches?
No. It is not normal to have a migraine every day. It is important, however, to be sure that you are correct in your self-diagnosis. Migraine is a very specific type of headache. It is possible to have daily migraines. Your doctor can help you determine if you do, indeed, have chronic daily migraine headaches. If you do, there are medications that can decrease the number of attacks you have, and other medications that can be fairly effective at stopping the migraines you continue to have with treatment. Two more common cause of daily headaches are (1) withdrawal and (2) rebound headaches. Withdrawal headaches can occur whenever your body is hungering for any number of drugs or substances. Going too long without your daily dose of caffeine or nicotine can trigger a headache as your body tries to tell you that it is time to dose up. These must be addressed by slowly decreasing your intake of that substance, a process sometimes known as "detoxification" or "detox". Rebound headaches are similar, but happen in response to withdrawal from an anti-headache medicine. These classically occur during withdrawal from narcotics, but are actually more common as a result of withdrawal from ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol), and other over-the-counter headache medications.
What is the difference between a tension headache and a normal headache?

How can you tell what type of headache you have?
The type of headache you have is decided by many things.How intense the pain is:* Tension headache can run the gamut in pain. * Sinus headaches also can be from mild to severe. A sinus infection will cause considerably more pain than simply congested sinuses. * Migraines are generally moderate to severe. * Cluster headaches are considered the most painful of all headaches.What the quality of the pain is? [Is it an ache, a pressure, a throb, a stab]The location:Tension headaches, where they are a product of muscle and neck tension, are generally felt stretching across the fascia of the head. Across the temples, like a band. Pulling at the forehead. Or involving the musculature of the neck and base of the skull.Sinus headaches will generally be felt in the forehead, in the face on either side of the nose.Migraines are usually one-sided, although they can be located on both sides of the head. Basilar Artery Migraines can start in the base of the skull.Cluster headaches are also one-sided, and generally involve eye pain.The other symptoms:It becomes very important to look at the symptoms surrounding the headache. Migraines and Cluster headaches in particular have noted symptoms. The nausea/vomiting and aura of migraines are specific to migraines. Cluster headaches can cause one eye to tear up constantly, and one nostril to become congested.The length of time:* Tension headaches and sinus headaches last until the muscles relax or the sinus pressure is relieved. * Migraines will last from 4-72 hours, with the average length being 24 hours. * Cluster headaches are considered short in length - from 15 minutes to 3 hours, averaging no more than 30 minutes, but attacks come in clusters. So while people will get a pain free reprieve, they'll begin to have those 30 minute attacks over and over, usually at the same time of day as the previous attack. [Example: Your cluster headache begins at around 9pm every day for a month.]These are the main categories of headache. It should be noted that there are other types of headache.
