Eye Pain

Eye Pain Overview

Eye pain is often described as burning, sharp, dull, gritty, a feeling of "something in my eye," aching, throbbing, or stabbing. Sometimes eye pain is confused with symptoms, such as a headache or sinus pain.

Eye pain is a common reason for people to seek medical care from their doctor (or an ophthalmologist, a specialist who deals only with eyes).
