Pain or Pressure

Pain or pressure in or around the eyes can vary from a dull ache to sharp, sudden discomfort. These symptoms are important to address quickly, as they may be related to internal inflammation, infection, injury, or conditions like glaucoma.

Common symptoms include:

• A deep, throbbing ache around or behind the eyes
  
• Sharp or stabbing sensations
  
• Eye tenderness when touched
  
• Pain when moving the eyes
  
• Headache or brow pain associated with eye strain
  
• A feeling of pressure behind the eyes
  
• Nausea or visual disturbance alongside eye pain
