Seen an optromistrist and optician and no one can find anything wrong with the eye
Pain in right eye and then it waters profusely. Once the water has gone the eye eventually settles down and the pain goes. Takes about an hour or longer and then calm till the next time.
Eye is not red nor inflammed.
Can it be computer? Eye strain? Wrong prescription for glasses? Any thoughts welcome. It occurs most at around 4am and so I am losing sleep. G

Have been to my GP who said "I would never go to any optician in Skegness".
The eye is OK perfectly in-between these bouts.

I hope by optician you mean an Ophthalmologist, do you? But this is not a problem for an optician or an Optometrist.
The Ophthalmologist is the medical Doctor for your eyes. If have not seen one, GO SOON. They examine the inside of your eye ball to see if something is happening that is causing your problem. It does sound like the pressure inside of your eyes could be high, THIS IS URGENTLY IN NEED OF SOLVING , if that is the problem. High pressure is Glaucoma and causes blindness and ghastly pain. Did the Optometrist check your eye pressure?? The pressure needs to be reduced quickly if this is the problem.. Under 20 is OK My Husbands got to 49 after surgery and required IMMEDIATE TREATMENT.
My Husband and I are 65 and this year we both have developed problems inside of the eye ball. These do require and very competent Doctor. He has had three surgeries. For me it was a more simple age related problem that the tears have resolved. Some things are just going to happen with age. Without enough liquid lubrication your eyes scratch easily, that was my problem. Use a cold pack on your eye to relieve the pain while your wait to see the doctor and use big dark sun glasses.
Do not fool around with your eyes. First to help the discomfort, use sterile tears, about every 4 hours to keep them well lubricated. Many things can happen on the inside of your eyeball and most of them are not good.
If this does not help, make an appointment with the OPHTHALMOLOGIST. Good Luck.

I had a similar problem for weeks and then I tried a simple eye wash like Optrex. Just once and the difference was amazing, amazing as that might sound.. I use a computer all day. This information and suggestion should not replace going to see another eye specialist if it is a persistant problem. But it may give you some temporary relief

You need an opthalmologist, who is a specialist medical doctor for eyes. An optician or optometrist can only test your sight and give you glasses. An opthalmologist understands the structure, pathology, and diseases of the eye, as well. You may have an allergy or a problem within the eye itself. If you are having pain that wakes you out of sleep and keeps you awake, you definitely have an organic problem. Go to an opthalmologist before irreversible damage is done.

I had the same problem two weeks ago. Eye was sore when I looked around and I thought muscle strain or nerve issue. Got eye test and everything fine, however, I went to doc and he said most likely a sinus infection behind eye! I had no nasal problems or anything so was surprsied. I got a weeks supply of antibiotics and it's fixed now. Seems that I sleep on my hand and heel of hand presses on eye so the pain wakened me up.
Get to doc most likely to be minor sinus infection, good luck

It sounds like you need to visit a new optometrist. They could at least give you a clue to what it MIGHT be. To just write you off like that is crazy. If you're losing sleep and your eye is acting up, then an optometrist should give you an idea of what's happening.
It sounds like your eye doctor maybe just made it through school. Go find someone who got A's.

It may be the new glasses. When you take them off do you still have headaches? Sometimes if you are getting used to wearing glasses this can happen. However, the only time I've had headaches from wearing glasses is when they totally messed up on the prescription lenses and made one of them way to strong for my left eye. I started seeing in 3D. Go back to the eye doctor and see if the glasses are a little too strong for you. If its too strong it makes your eyes strain to look through the lenses. If the lenses are correct their isn't much eye strain and you don't get headaches.

I had this for some time until a good optician found a minute piece of metal in my white part of the eye. I think I may have got it from the swimming pool. It was rather like getting a splinter in the hand put this tiny fragment was still sticking out!!!...not bedded in sideways

My son had this sort of problem & they couldn't find any reason for ages. He saw a new doctor and she put dye in his eye & looked under a special light & found he had a massive scratch on his cornea. He's waiting to see a specialist.

Get your GP to refer you to an ophthalmologist - a specialist. Neither an optometrist nor an optician would be sufficiently qualified to diagnose this.
If the ophthalmologist fails to find a reason for it, go back to your GP and get referred to a neurologist.
Good luck.
