Ophthalmologic causes of headache represent a very complex and extensive problem, and very often differential diagnostic problem too. Many various reasons of headache can be caused by ophthalmologic diseases like those of anterior and posterior eye segments, acute and subacute angle-closed glaucoma and orbital diseases. Headache can be caused by no or poor correction of the refraction anomalies. Ophthalmologic causes of headache are quite frequently connected with conditions that affect other body systems apart from the eyes, nervous and/or vascular system in particular. Although ophthalmologic examination very provides the clue in patients with headache, the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the problem has to be interdisciplinary. LA: Serbocroatian
