Eye pain? Ideas? Suggestions?

Question

Can someone give me an idea of what's wrong with my eye? It started to hurt last night, sleep helped but througout the day it hurt and go away.

I wear contacts but I got my glasses after they were broke(it was severely broke lol it took forever to fix them) so I have worn my glasses the last couple of days.

Well I notice something about my vision so I closed my left eye and things are not as clear I can't see clear details from far away so I closed my right eye and I could see clearly and fine from my left eye.

I never had problems with my contacts(except I keep losing one of them occasionally) but since I got these glasses the problem started.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Answer 1

Your eyes are adjusting to glasses again. Or maybe they are even correcting themselves, that happens when you wear contacts for a while. Maybe just go through a couple days without your glasses or contacts to see how things go. If nothing bothers you, go to your eye doctor to see if you still need a prescription or need a new one.

Answer 2

There is a possibility that the prescription for your Glasses is incorrect. One of the Major causes of eye pain and discomfort is eye strain. Also, the transition from using contacts to Eye ware causes stress in the eyes and even head aches.

This is what to do: Contact the Optometrist who examined your eyes and have a new examination performed. Many times, the Lab that produced your Lenses and frames made an error.

This is more common than you realize.

After the Eye examination and the correct lens prescription is verified, you are still experiencing Eye pain, consult with an Ophthalmologist. An Ophthalmologist is a Medical Doctor who specializes in the treatment of Eye and Vision problems.

Best to you.

Pain in the eye (that is not due to injury) may be described as a burning, throbbing, aching, or stabbing sensation in or around the eye. It may also feel as if there is a foreign body in the eye.
A feeling of tiredness in the eyes or some discomfort after a long period of work (eye strain) are generally minor problems and do not really qualify as eye pain. This may be due to an improper prescription for glasses or a muscle imbalance.
Pain in the eye, while not a common complaint, can be an important symptom that should be evaluated and treated if pain does not improve. It is important to try to describe the pain as much as possible.
A wide variety of disorders can cause pain in or around the eye. In general, if the pain is persistent, severe, or associated with decreased vision, seek medical attention. Any severe pain or pain associated with vision loss should be considered an emergency and seen immediately by a doctor.
Some of the problems that can cause eye pain are:
a problem in the eye itself (an infection, irritation, or injury such as a corneal abrasion)
a migraine headache (severe pain behind the eye)
sinus problems (pain either above or below the eye)
contact lens complications
eye surgery
a stye (hordeolum) can create eye pain that increases as the stye grows
conjunctivitis (pink eye) or any inflammation of the upper and lower lids
pain in both eyes, particularly upon exposure to bright light (photophobia) (common with many viral infections such as the flu; will go away as the infection improves)
glaucoma (a less-common type called narrow angle glaucoma can be very painful)
burns
If the problem is eye strain, rest should relieve the discomfort. If you think your eye pain is due to wearing contact lenses, avoid wearing the lenses for a few days and see if the pain goes away. If the pain is severe, call your doctor.
Call your health care provider if
there is pain, redness, swelling, discharge, or pressure in the eye(s) that persists -- particularly if it affects vision
the pain is severe (call immediately) or if it continues for more than 2 days
the eye pain is not associated with a viral illness or eyestrain
the pain is associated with medical problems such as a history of herpes infections or a new rash
you have an immune-system deficiency
you have had recent surgery
Your doctor will check your vision, eye movements, and the back of the eye with an ophthalmoscope. If there is major concern, you should see an ophthalmologist (a doctor who specializes in eye problems).
To better understand the source of the pain, your doctor may ask:
Are both eyes involved?
Is the pain in the eye or around the eye?
Does it feel like something is in your eye?
Does your eye burn or throb?
Did the pain begin suddenly?
Is the pain worse when you move your eyes?
What other symptoms do you have?
The following diagnostic tests may be performed:
A slit-lamp examination
If glaucoma is suspected, eye pressure will be checked.
Best wishes to you.

You should seek a doctor. Are you having headaches also? Eye pain and blurred vision can be an early sign of MS. Go get checked out

Answer 5

sounds like an infection maybe have an eye test?
otherwise, it could be ur eyes are tired, can u not wear glasses or contacts unless u have to? ur eyes get tired & need rest. Dr Bates method of cupping, (placing the palm of your hands & cupping them to give them warmth & rest) is very good.
