Hi, everyone. For a while now, I've been dealing with eye pain. It seemed to be slightly behind my eyes, but I could touch a spot on my right eye and actually feel mild pain. It wasn't constant and would come and go. In April I saw the eye doctor and he examined me pretty thoroughly and found nothing. In the last two months, the pain behind my right eye has intensified. I'm not an expert on the anatomy of the eye, but it almost feels like theirs strain on an eye muscle or something. When I look in certain directions, especially down at something close to my eye, I generally feel the pain. It really feels like when you strain a muscle in a part of your body and stretch it out, causing pain. Two days ago, the pain got so bad it gave me a headache. Again, I don't feel it all the time and I can even look down at times and not feel it. I've noticed my eye watering a bit as well recently. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I just posted a similar question too. I have been having pain in my right eye as well it hurts more when I blink and actually hurts when I put pressure by touching it. It does feel like a pulled muscle would.
I have no idea whats causing it.

Do you ever get a headache with yours? I was in a position where I was really focusing with my eyes for a long time on Monday. The eye pain started in and then the headache came. Very uncomfortable.

You have any redness with that. Cause I was diagnosed with Iritis and that's now mine felt. When I touched the eyelid of my closed eye the eye felt sore. Had a terrible headache off and one mostly behind and around the eye area - a few times so intense I could hardly raise my head. But my eye eventually got very red.

Sometimes it's a little red and I have indeed had some mild stinging when I've touched the eyelid.

So I went to the eye doctor again about two weeks ago and he checked me out again. He wants me to start using reading glasses with the lowest number (.75). I don't know exactly what that means, but I haven't been able to find them in the drugstore. What I have been doing is not wearing my contacts as much and that seems to work out well. I barely have any pain when I don't wear them. The pain starts to come back once I start to wear the contacts for several days, especially if I wear them for long periods of time. I really don't know what's up. Anyway, I'm seeing him again in about a month or so and if I still have the problem he's going to do an MRI of the back of my eye.
