I have a crawling sensation behind my eyes like something is crawling there. First one then the other
Brief Answer:
Crawling sensation behind the eyes? cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I am Dr. Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
The most common cause of crawling sensation behind the eyes is an infection and inflammation of eyes and the dryness associated with it.
You might be suffering from this.
Let me know if you have pain, redness, itching or discharge associated with it?
You should wash your eyes with clean water multiple times, avoid dust, avoid touching and rubbing them.
Artificial tears and other over-the-counter (OTC) lubricating eye drops are available and can be used to reduce the symptoms.
If the symptoms do not improve, you should see your ophthalmologist who will examine you clinically and in addition to the lubricants might recommend prescription eye drop called Restasis drops which do not only lubricate the surface of eye but also reduces inflammation.
Hope that I have answered your query.
If you have any doubts or queries, please let me know.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards

No redness or pain or discharge with it. Can't see any irritations or redness but when the crawling sensation starts they're start being sore and like a throbbing feeling. And then they go blurry and I have to keep blinking to stop the blurriness. I would swear there was something crawling behind my eyes. It happens first in one eye and then the other like it's crawled over. And when I touch the eye to stop it it feels it's moving or throbbing.

It's such a weird feeling. It's like you can literally feel something crawling around behind my eyes. It feels like it's crossing from eye side of the eye to the other side of the eye and crossing over to the other eye. When I touch it it feels throbbing or moving and my eyes blur. It's so weird and frightening. It feels, like something crawling in there. That's the way to describe it. And above it in my temple it has a tingling/crawling sensation

Hi,
Welcome back.
In that scenario, you should consult an Ophthalmologist for vision and fundus examination as well as ruling out any parasitic infection.
The parasitic infection may include protozoan, helminthic or ectoparasites.
S/he would tailor a treatment protocol according to your clinical findings.

The sensation in the temple is frightening like something has crawled up there. I can't help feeling something has crawled up there from me eye and is crawling around inside my head. I tried to make an appointment with my doctor but could not get an appointment. Do you think a spider/insect could be crawling around in there?

It feels there is something in there and when I touch it my eye goes blurry and I have to keep blinking to clear it but no other symptoms except the crawling sensation. And that seems to move around my forehead and bridge of nose too.
