Q: Left eye pain and headaches

Where I live.. (Toronto) Its almost impossible to find myself a family doctor.. so I don't know what I should do in this situation... for 5 years my left eye has been hurting and seems like its getting or is lazy.. then I started getting these weired headaches ever since.. .. and now recently.. my right eye is starting to have such problems... I do have a small bump on the top of my head and thats where the headache starts(i'm worried that its too small for a doctor to notice and think I'm crazy..).. then it goes to my eyes and neck and back of my head..
I saw a eye doctor about this and he says my eyes are fine?
Who can I go see..? maybe a eye specialist.. or should I just go to the ER explain the bump on my head and how it hurts like hell and affecting my eyes and eye sight..
I can't figure out if both of them are related...
I don't think going to a walk-in clinic would help my situation much..
like is it normal for a bump on your head to hurt sometimes when you breath in?

Thanks.

The issue is.. its effecting my eyes so much that I'm even scared to have social interaction because my eyes get really sore when I'm in a place with a lot of people and lights.. and then I'm scared to look at people in the eyes cause I'm thinking my eyes are screwed.

I would suggest

an opthamologist for your eye problems. They have more training then an optometrist. (Optometrists) fit eye glasses and contact lenses. Opthamologists deal with eye problems diseases etc of the eye. I had an optometrist who had no idea what was wrong with my eyes but two different opthamologists knew and were able to help me.

Also with the headaches another good doctor to go see would be a neurologist. They specialize in headache problems. The neurologist may be able to figure out your eye problem too.
