^^ I had the same problem for 2yrs. severe Right eye strain that spread to right facial area and temple. I tried some of the supplements you listed but the positive results were temporal.

diagnosis: Cluster headache. my neuro prescribed propranolol and zomitriptan. Both alleviated my symptoms significantly. I changed my glasses months ago and the symptoms disappears whenever I wear them even after I stopped taking the meds.

That's how my symptoms started sixteen-ish years ago: in the right eye and then to the facial area and temple. It did stay there for a while but spread to the left eye within two years and now, while my right eye is probably worse in terms of vision, the left side is where I commonly feel most of my symptoms when I don't have a migraine. I don't get the facial nerve symptoms as much as I used to. Currently, it's mostly all in my eyes.

Glasses made me worse, unfortunately.

Supplements are a crap-shoot, and none have worked all of the time as of yet. All have come with eventual side effects or a diminishing of effects. The felt effectiveness of eye specific anti-oxidants generally decreases over time for me. Some supplements have held their effectiveness over time better than others.
