I went from wearing glasses for years and years, to contacts. Now I don't like to wear my glasses much, because it's like a whole different world with contacts. It's a better field of view; everywhere you look, your vision is still precise. As opposed to wearing glasses, where you have to look specifically through your lenses, and if you look off to the side...your lenses aren't there.
It takes a little while to get used to the contacts, and to get used to putting them in. Do not by any means get frustrated when you can't get them in properly after many tries. About the first week or so when you first get contacts (and even more so during the first few days)...putting your contact into your eye feels like you have something in your eye. For me, my eyes watered and burned like crazy. Before I got contacts, I used to think (and also heard from other people) that wearing contacts would mean that I would always "feel like something was in my eye". That's what people would say it would feel like. However...after a week or two, if you have the proper contacts that you need...you will basically forget that you have them in. Your eye gets so used to the contacts being there that you don't even feel them most of the time.
I doubt you'll get a 'headache'. One thing about contacts is...you can see a heck of a lot better with them than with glasses. Even if your glasses and contacts are supposed to be the same strength. I questioned this difference that I saw, between my glasses and my contacts. I can't see as well with my glasses, as with my contacts. I find that I tend to want to pull my glasses way up close to my eyes, to get the similar vision that I get when I have my contacts in. Of course, the contacts are as close to the eyes as you can get; and the glasses sit on your nose, further away from the eye. So naturally, the contacts have a much better ability to help you see better/further. The only 'difference' you'll likely have to get used to is the same thing everyone else goes through; just getting used to how the contacts feel a lot 'stronger' (meaning prescription-wise) than glasses do.
Also, there are different types of contacts. If you get really dry eyes (like I do)...they have special contacts. I use AcuVue Advance...and they have AcuVue Oasis, as well. They are supposed to help retain moisture better than typical contacts, and therefore your eyes don't get as dry. I don't like to put drops in my eyes...putting moisturizing drops in my eyes is worse than putting my contacts themselves in, for me personally. So the better the contacts are at retaining moisture...the less you have to deal with the drops.
If you take a nap with your contacts on (many people advise against it...I've done it plenty of times and it doesn't hurt anything if you have soft contacts)...it's a good idea to put drops in your eyes after you wake up. Because when you wake up, your contacts will feel really 'cloudy' because of stuff from your eyes when you had your eyes closed on them. Putting in some moisturizing drops basically helps to wash away that cloudiness and makes things clearer again.
Also, I used to have this silly little fear before I actually got contacts, that my contacts would 'pop out' at an odd time. As for the other things, that was how people made it seem. Soft contacts are quite sticky and stick to the eye really well. I wore my contacts on the Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags. While I had backups with me just in case...not a thing happened. You won't just be doing something and have them 'pop out' for no reason...they're a lot more durable than most people think, before they actually wear the contacts.
Hopefully that will help some. :-)
It honestly depends on how bad your vision is.
no you should not get headach
if you get , ask your doctor,
what you got is some discomfort which will go after sometimes after accomodation.
also when you look mirror you see different picture which need accomodation.
when i switched nothing happened. you might just get frustrated trying to put them on for the first few times. after that everything is fine. (;
