Response from Dr. Henry
Efavirenz + AZT/3TC usually keeps working for many years if taken with few missed doses. Headache and eye fatigue are fairly non-specific symptoms and would generally be due to something else other than flare up of CMV retintis and/or failure of your HIV meds. I would seek evaluation/assessment from your HIV specialist. KH
