    I have had a pain in my eye for 5 days. Just in the right eye when I move it up/down/left or right. Is this just a migraine in the eye?

    Dr Joan Hansen's response:

    Migraines do not happen in the eye. It is important to have symptoms such as this checked by your eye doctor right away. Most Doctors will see you within a day or two when you have symptoms such as this.
