Generally, Medical Practitioners handle this ,but as technology has advanced ,Optometrists with the correct digital technology are foremost in detecting non -standard issues in Headaches.You need a routine eye exam ,vision testing,pupil responses,binocular vision assessment. We then check with a Slit Lamp for corneal/iris issues. Glaucoma measurement (tensions), and in sudden onset headaches Visual fields testing.
