pain when I move my eyes?

Question

hello.....

for the last couple of days, I've had a very sore, almost excrutiating pain in my eyes and sockets whenever I move my eyes to the left and right more than just slightly. It's almost a fist clutching pain and it sends a shock of pain in my head.

I would say it started a couple nights ago after I threw up. While in the middle, I saw 'stars' or spots. I threw up because I was eating and a friend showed me a disgusting picture. Ah, it brings back horrors now.

Anyways, any info and insight would be awesome.


thanks!!

Answer 1

As you threw up, you put alot of pressure on your eyes and eye sockets. Keep them lubricated with artificial tears to help soothe the pain and take tylenol extra-strength. If it persists after a few days, go see an ophthalmologist.

Answer 2

jessica, pain in the eye with a red eye, visual difficulties could suggest an infection but simple pain could mean nothing. I would suggest to see a doctor for a detailed eye exam so that he/she can ensure the abscence of a concern, good luck
