Eye pain :
Eye pain is a common symptom that can indicate a wide variety of problems. Eye pain can occur at specific points in the eyes. It can be throbbing, dull or sharp. In some cases, the pain can also feel like it is behind the eyes. The pain may not subside for many days, in which case it may be a sign of an injury or health problem.
Some of the common causes of eye pain include infections, allergies, exposure to toxins, dirty contact lenses, inflammation and increased eye pressure. An ophthalmologist can diagnose the underlying cause of eye pain. The doctor may ask how the pain started, where it hurts and whether the pain has occurred before. The doctor will also perform an eye exam. Eye pain can be accompanied by signs such as dryness, eye discharge, burning in the eyes, swelling in the eyes and eye redness. The treatment of eye pain depends on the underlying cause. It may involve medications and eye drops. If it occurs due to an injury, emergency treatment may be required that involves bandaging or even surgery.
