i have had one doctor tell me that it is possible I have bacteria behind the eye but not one doctor will provide enough antibiotics to try and clear the bacteria. What does anyone suggest.

Answer 1

sinus cavities sit above and below the eyes not behind them. The only thing behind the eyes is the skull and then the brain.

Answer 2

Sphenoid sinusitis (behind the eyes) is what you may have. This may affect your vision when pressure extends to the brain.

Answer 3

something must be putting pressure on your optic nerve,see a doctor asap
