Symptoms Of Eye Pain

 

People suffer from eye pain due to many causes ranging from infections to accidents. In many cases, eye pain will get better by itself, but at times medical attention is needed to treat the eye and prevent lasting damage to a person's eyesight.

A feeling of discomfort or pain in the eye can be caused by a problem either in the eye itself or due to a problem involving the structures around the eye. With eye pain, there may be other symptoms too, which may help diagnose the cause of the discomfort which could include:

·      Conjunctivitis - red itchy eyes

·      Tears

·      Light sensitivity (photophobia)

·      Discharge, which can be clear, or thick and colored (pus)

·      The eye being crusted shut after sleep due to discharge

·      Foreign body sensation -- the feeling that something is in the eye, whether or not anything actually is

·      Nausea or vomiting

·      Decreased vision

·      Headache
