  Yes, the headache will cause the dilated pupils. As we know, the eyes will get dilated because of the surprise, shock or other reaction. However, these symptoms may disappear naturally. However, when you have the headache, you may feel uncomfortable at the eyes. The high pressure at the eyes may cause the dilated pupils. Or the infected eyes may get the dilated symptom, too.
