Barrage laser treatment strengthens weak areas of the retina, and it's generally considered a safe and effective procedure, but it can cause some mild discomfort or pain. It usually doesn't involve surgery in the traditional sense; it's a laser procedure performed on an outpatient basis. Regarding your headaches, it's best to consult with your doctor or eye doctor to determine if they are related to the new lenses or another issue before undergoing the laser treatment.
