Two days ago I noticed everytime I look to the right my left eye has a shooting pain in it that I can feel in my forehead. The night before I slept on my stomach (something I rarely do), could I have put too much pressure on my eye? It is also time for finals, so could it be stress? or could it be something serious? Any information is welcome.

I have actually slept on my eye funny not to long ago. There was a bump when I awoke the moved under the eye the next day making it look slightly "black" and then it just went away. You normally wait to see what it will do and see a doctor if it gets worse or does not go away. Three days.

You may find the answer by finding the notch in the eyebrow, there will be a noticeable tenderness on the same side as the eye you mentioned. You may also have similar discomfort at the base of the skull of the same side. Should you find this to be present, it indicates a chronic problem which becomes aggravated or acute, when under physical or emotional stress... as you outlined for finals.

Most likely stress, could also be the start of a migraine headache. Best bet is to check with an eye doc.

Have your eyes checked immediately! You could have glaucoma. This can cause blindness if not treated immediately, so see your opthalmologist to be safe.

A sinus infection can cause pain like that.

You may have busted an eye blood vessel.

Don't know....ask a doc. I sleep on my stomach all the time, and I don't have sharp pain.
