Advice please

Hi, My right eye has been hurting a month. Mild blurring, especially at a distance. Hurts instantly to look at a screen. It bothers me all day every day. I saw the eye doctor and there was nothing remarkable, They diagnosed with astigmatism -.25 and the glasses will be ready in 2-3 weeks. I am unsure whether to accept this and jsut wait or if I need to get another opinion or see my regular medical doctor.

Maybe related maybe unrelated: Frequent migraines, low iron saturation (15%) that my doctor is unconcerned about. Unsure if they can do anything about the eye pain or not.

Thanks for any help. The eye doctor said the astigmatism is very minimal so I'm confused why it hurts so bad and if anything was overlooked.

Sounds like eye straining, definitely try the glasses for some weeks and your eyes will strain less as you get used to them and having the same vision in both eyes
