Hi.. as of late my eyes have been hurting. i'd say the 2-3 months maybe even more. i feel this pressure, kind of feels like its behind my eyes. i also get a sharp pain sometimes or both, the pressure and sharp pain. the sharp pain is only in my left eye though. the pain has woken me up many times and/or has keep me up for hours before going to bed. i have also noticed that when i touch under my left eye, it sometimes hurt. it feels tender, and i'll lightly touch it and then i get this sharp pain when i run my finger lightly under my eye. i dont know what this could be. Help! (side note: i wear eye glasses, dont know if that information helps with anything) ..thank you for your time.
Dr Joan Hansen's response:
Marisol,
Pain lasting this long needs to be checked by your Optometrist immediately. They will need to rule out several possibilities such as Allergy, Chalazion, Glaucoma, Sjogrens and many more. But the diagnosis can only be made by examining your eye. Make that appointment today, please.
